Default Gardens and moving house

I would appreciate some thoughts on this subject. Our property is mainly
planted up with mature trees and shrubs. I like it that way, friends have
commented on the lack of flowers and bedding stuff, my answer is that there
is always something happening out there and the wildlife love it. We will
be putting the house on the market later in the year and I wonder if I
should do anything to alter the garden, what do people look for and should
I tell peeps that our old pet dog is buried in a shady corner.

I'd leave it as it is. One never knows what new owners will want to do. We
once sold a house with a gorgeous garden, pond, sitting areas, paths etc.
All was ripped up and put down to grass because they had small children....

We have our house on the market ATM. It was lots of difference
colours.....didn't sell. the estate agent advised us to 'get up a ladder and
paint everything magnolia' .............still hasn't sold !
