In Kenya's property market, where land prices are rising sharply and buyers have more options than ever before, the difference between a property that sells quickly and one that remains unsold often comes down to the landscaping.

Immaculate Salaon's home in Memusi, a few kilometres outside Ngong Town in Kajiado County, is over 20 years old and has been significantly transformed over the years. It sits on half an acre of land — part of the approximately 70 acres owned by her father-in-law.
