Spring Projects
It all begins with an idea.
After a winter of gray skies and cold days, spring is finally here. Months of planning for spring and summer projects can commence. Where do you begin? You’ve taken care of what you could inside, but you need a change in scenery. Outside brings a vast amount of opportunities for cleaning, upkeep, and upgrade opportunities. For those seeking more ideas, or insight on current, here are a handful of projects that’ll turn some heads this season.
Lawn Care
An act as simple as breaking out the push mower or weed wacker can give your lawn the refined look to increase your home's curb appeal. To give your lawn the best chance for a healthy season, make sure you’re not cutting the grass too short; or scalping it, to avoid the sun from damaging it. Ideally, three or so inches are left after the first cut to avoid the burning issue.
Landscaping
A couple small trees, or a few new bushes can go a long way in diversifying what would otherwise be a simple green lawn. Give your home a new look without breaking the bank by upgrading the foliage. Remember though, the golden rule of landscaping: a home is the center piece to any garden.
Pressure Washing
With the snow gone, what’s left in its wake are salt and dirt ridden surfaces. Maybe over the winter you noticed a little too much green growing on the side of your house. Whether it be a quick rinse of the driveway or a detailed wash to remove years of stains, take a weekend or hire a service to provide you a clean that reminds you just how good your home can look.
Window Washing
Instead of looking at your windows, it’s time to look through them. It can be as easy as making a homemade remedy of water and distilled vinegar to remove grime and water marks, giving you a clear solution. For harder to reach spots, consider a professional team to safely and effectively provide you with a quality clean.
Exterior Painting
Give your property a new feel with a fresh coat of paint. Make sure when prepping for paint that the surface is clean, dry, and sanded to preference. Depending on the location of where you’re painting, make sure that plants and unwanted surfaces are taped off or covered to prevent a mess.
Regardless of when you start your seasonal projects, there are endless options to get you through the warmer weather of spring and summer. Whether you’re a weekend go-getter or outsource your work, listed are few ideas to increase the aesthetic of your home and space.
