As the seasons change and warmer days approach, it's the perfect time to get your outdoor spaces ready! Whether it's tidying up the garden, inspecting gutters, or refreshing your patio, now is the time to tackle those outdoor maintenance tasks. 

Let's get your home looking its best for the new season- see some of our suggestions below.


Gutters

Cleaning your gutters is essential for maintaining the structural integrity and safety of your home. It can help you prevent potential leaks and damages, as well as the possibility of damp and mould, which could lead to costly repairs.


Garden Revival

Now is a good time to tackle weeds and debris. They can be unsightly and take away from the overall appearance of your garden, but also damage your plants as they compete for essential resources like sunlight, water, and nutrients. By controlling weeds, you ensure that your plants receive the necessary resources to thrive, promoting healthy growth and preventing potential plant death. 

Don't forget to tend to your flowers and plants in hope for spring bloom and to create a more appealing outdoor space. Trim back dead foliage, but leave the green one intact until it withers naturally to allow the bulb to recharge for next year's bloom. You should also prune shrubs and bushes to maintain their shape and promote new growth.


Lawn Care

Taking care of your garden lawn involves several steps to ensure it remains healthy and visually appealing. Rake away dead grass and mow when necessary- ideally every two weeks in spring. You should also apply suitable lawn feed/fertilizer to promote healthy growth. Don't forget to aerate- it is crucial for your lawn as it creates small holes in the soil to improve air, water, and nutrient circulation. 


Fence and Outdoor Space

Think about your fence. Regular maintenance contributes to the aesthetic appeal of your property, while ensuring safety and security, but also extending its lifespan. Repaint chipped paint and apply necessary treatment to keep the surface from rotting and splitting. 

A clean driveway and patio enhance the overall appearance of your home, as it boosts its curb appeal and could potentially increase property value. Cleaning removes dirt, stains, and debris, restoring the original colour and vibrancy of the surfaces.


Finishing Touches

If you need to breathe some life into your garden, consider adding new spring-inspired decorations, such a bird baths, sculptures, gnomes and animal ornaments. 

Do you need an extra chair for a new family member, or do the old ones need replacing? What about that outdoor grill you were talking about a few weeks ago? Ensure your outdoor space is clean and ready for alfresco dining and garden entertainment with your loved ones- warmer days are coming.
