Adding landscaping to your home's front yard has been proven to add sustainable value to your assett according to this article in CNNMoney.  It cites a university study that a well landscaped yard can add 5 to 11 percent to the property value.  The good new is that you can do it all by yourself over time by buying plants and taking care of them.  If an entire neigborhood participates, the synergy creates a greater effect.  The challenge is finding plants and trees that not only look great, but work for the area you need regarding shade tolerance, drought tolerance, and height of growth.

 That is absolutely right. I am a Certified Arborist with ValleyCrest Tree Care Services and maintaining a great looking sustainable landscape can dramatically raise the value of your property.

"Several recent nationwide surveys show that mature trees in a well-landscaped yardcan increase the value of a house by 7 percent to 19 percent. A lush lawn with flower gardens is pretty, but didn't add to the value of a house, the surveys showed....The surveys were done in 2007 by the University of Washington and the National Gardening Association. "It's a significant increase," said Charlie Nardozzi, senior horticulturist with the National Gardening Association, about the effect trees have on the value of a house." (Frontdoor.com)
