Garden Hose

The Garden Hose is the primary watering tool in House Flipper's outdoor renovation toolkit, used to water plants, flowers, vegetable patches, and other cultivated garden elements to keep them healthy and improve outdoor property scores. Introduced and expanded through the Garden Flipper and Farm Flipper DLC content, the Garden Hose transforms the basic renovation game into a comprehensive property development experience that includes maintaining living outdoor spaces as part of a complete home improvement package.

Tied to the Gardener skill tree, the Garden Hose becomes more efficient and effective as players invest in gardening-focused perks. Skill upgrades increase the watering radius, improve water pressure for faster coverage of large garden areas, and unlock bonuses for achieving optimal hydration levels across multiple plants in a single watering session. The Gardener skill tree is essential for any player who takes on Garden Flipper or Farm Flipper contracts, as outdoor garden quality is scored as rigorously as interior renovation quality in those DLC job types.

Beyond basic watering, the Garden Hose plays a role in maintaining the long-term health of planted gardens in properties that players develop over multiple sessions. Flowers and plants that receive consistent watering display at their best during buyer walkthroughs, contributing to curb appeal scores and outdoor area evaluations that factor into the property's final sale value. Players who invest in garden development alongside interior renovation consistently achieve higher total property values, particularly in the Garden Flipper DLC where lush outdoor spaces are often worth as much as the interior improvements.
