Will creating an organic garden or using eco-friendly paints on my home help with it’s value? I want to do some improvements but keep along the idea of things better for the environment. Are there woods that aren’t chemically treated for floors or building a deck?

It will appeal to a subset of people. That’s about all you can say. I would appreciate it, but know some who wouldn’t.

I know of no wood for making decks with that don’t require either preservative or paint to protect it. Even redwood needs oil to prolong it, plus they are such beautiful trees.

You will not realize any increase in value by doing this. Even a nice landscaping job does not have a good ROI (return on investment). Kitchens and bathrooms are the current things people look for when buying.
