In prestige property markets, landscaping is a critical financial lever.
For homes in the $5M+ bracket, a neglected exterior actively devalues the property.
The 16-26% Value Lift Industry data across the Australian prestige market shows that a professionally designed garden can increase a home’s perceived value by up to 26%.
In markets like Mosman, Palm Beach or St Ives, that percentage translates to hundreds of thousands of dollars in equity.
Where to Invest
- Kerb Appeal: A stunning front entrance creates an immediate emotional connection.
- Outdoor Rooms: Adding a high-end deck or outdoor kitchen typically recovers 80-100% of its cost at the point of sale.
- Privacy: Mature hedging and strategic screening can add 3-5% to a property’s value by providing seclusion, particularly in leafy suburbs like Pymble and Lindfield.
