Giving Your Home Spring Curb Appeal

All homes need a spruce up in the spring, I like to start with giving our yard (front and back) a good raking. There are always some dead leaves and branches on the ground, just getting those off the grass will give the exterior a clean look. Depending on your area your grass might be a bit on the long side. So, give it a mow and you will notice how much neater everything looks.

Focusing on the exterior of the home, not only making sure the yard and flowers look great, but what about the siding, sidewalks, and your garage door? Getting these power-washed to get the dirt and winter grime off is a great way to make your home look ready for spring, and summer months, and is also important in the up-keep of your home. You always wash your car when it’s dirty right? Same thing with your home.

Flowers are a great way to add a splash of color to your home. You might not want to make a huge investment in flowers this early in the spring season, especially living in Ohio and we are never sure when we will get that last freeze.  A great alternative are planters at the front of the house and if you have patio space out back, some planters out here go a long way in making things feel tied together as well. 

You may be wondering what flowers can handle this unpredictable spring weather? Potted Pansies are a great option, they are sturdy and colourful and if you take care of them, they will last all summer.  A bit of height is a good idea when creating your planters – in the spring we love forsythia – the pop of yellow draws the eye in! Ivy is a great all weather spill plant. Remember these 3 words when creating a planter: Spill, Fill and Thrill!
