Does landscaping add value?

Our home has minimal landscaping. If we landscape will it add value? If so, is there a limit on how much we should spend to get value?

Landscape certainly adds value. If you have minimal landscape you should be fine. Best bet is to have a local agent assess and advise. Generally speaking, I most often suggest that my clients do as little as possible, and not attempt to put in landscaping that the buyer may not prefer. Some landscaping usually helps to sell.

I will say if a yard is clean and well kept and in good condition it gives potential buyers a great 1st impression. At the same time, I have seen some invest too much by ripping out all the grass adding new sod, and doing a complete yard reno and not getting all of that back out of it... So it depends on what you mean by landscaping. I have also seen yards that have $100,000 in hardscape and firepit, outdoor kitchen space, and beautiful flowers in some neighborhoods that get it all back out of the sale, and in other neighborhoods, it only helps them sell it faster, but not for more Money. So I would highly suggest having a local REALTOR look at the details of what you are thinking for landscaping.
