If you are looking to sell, here are some of the best ways to make money on your garden.

 

Research revealed that the garden feature that adds the most value is a shed. In fact, 82% of property professionals claim a good-sized shed is the most recognised feature to boost value.

 

Next up is a good quality patio and paving area at 76%. Followed by secure fencing, walls or gates.

The garden feature, however, with the least value worth is artificial grass at 40%.

 

These statistics can be beneficial for when it comes to selling your house. The right garden can add anywhere between 5 to 20 per cent to a property’s value.

 

With 37% of Brits spending more time in their garden than they did five years ago, outdoor space is becoming more and more in demand.

 

We should also point out that a combination of these top garden features is much more beneficial than focusing on one alone.
