You might not think that people notice the trees, or flowers when purchasing a home. Truth be told, when selling your home, you should make sure the outside of the house is as eye catching as possible. Make sure you put as much emphasis on the outside as you do the inside. You should make it look like the person living in the house, takes pride in the visual appearance of the outside of the home.
Allow the realtor to take pictures of the best part of your yard. If at all possible, try to have your flower garden in full bloom with a variety of kinds of flowers. Tulips, daffodils, azaleas, and lilies look great together. Make sure trees and bushes are pruned..
Remember when someone is looking for a home the realtor shows a picture of the inside and outside of the home, then if the potential buyer is interested, they set an appointment for them to view your home.
The first thing anyone sees before they enter your home is the landscaping.

Great advice, I know first hand it helps.
Landscaping and curb appeal is huge and a lot of buyers will already form a negative impression about the house before entering the front door because of a bad lawn.
