Curb appeal is basically how your home looks from the street. To get a better assessment of what your home may need, go outside and look at your home from different vantage points. Pretend you're a family friend or prospective buyer coming to see the home for the first time. Take a look at your home from across the street, as you're driving up, or from the next door neighbor's viewpoint. One thing that may surprise you is the need for foundation plantings (if you don't have them). Evergreen shrubs are an eye-catcher and a relatively inexpensive way to heighten curb appeal. Mountain Laurel and Boxwoods are examples. If you're on a budget, younger shrubs cost around $20 or less. Full- grown shrubs will cost around $40 or more
