As winter fades, the promise of warmer days brings an opportunity to refresh and prepare your home for spring. From outdoor maintenance to deep cleaning, a little preparation now will help you enjoy a seamless transition into the season. Here’s how to get started!
1. Inspect Your Home’s Exterior
Winter can leave behind hidden damage, so start with a thorough inspection of your home’s siding, roof, gutters, and foundation. Look for cracks, leaks, or loose shingles that may need repair. Clearing out gutters and downspouts will also prevent water damage as spring showers arrive.
2. Refresh Your Outdoor Spaces
Your yard, patio, and walkways likely took a hit from the cold. Clean and inspect your paving stones or concrete surfaces for cracks, shifting, or stains. A deep wash, joint re-sanding, and a fresh sealant application can restore their beauty and durability. Trim overgrown branches, rake leaves, and refresh your garden beds to bring your landscape back to life.
3. Get Your Lawn & Garden Ready
Healthy lawns and gardens start with early preparation. Begin by aerating and fertilizing your grass to encourage lush growth. Prune shrubs and trees to promote new blooms, and consider planting early-season flowers for a vibrant touch. Adding fresh mulch will help retain moisture and keep weeds at bay.
4. Check Your Outdoor Fixtures & Furniture
Spring means more time outside, so inspect your deck, patio furniture, and outdoor lighting. Power wash dirty surfaces, tighten any loose screws, and replace worn-out cushions. If you have an irrigation system, test it now to ensure it’s working properly before the season kicks in.
5. Plan for Home & Landscape Improvements
Spring is the perfect time to tackle home improvement projects, whether it’s a fresh coat of paint, a paver extension, or a new firepit. If you’ve been considering sealing your pavers, upgrading your driveway, or installing landscape lighting, start planning now to enjoy the results all season long.
