If you haven't sold it by end of winter, I HIGHLY recommend a trip back for some work to increase curb appeal.

Honestly, rip those hedges out. Strap them to a car and drive. Get them out, mulch 3-4" thick, and plant some flowers and low plants.

Investing a weekend and a few hundred dollars on the curb view can literally add THOUSANDS to a sale price.

And if you can't go back, hiring a local landscaping crew for just a DAY'S work could do wonders. Just take pics and 'shop what you want, they should be able to recommend what plants to plant and the total cost with hedge removal.

Edit: Another thing that would help - cut the sod away from that tree base 3-4 feet at least, and mulch it. Use a sod-cutter, and use that sod to fill bad spots in the lawn.
