May is the perfect time to spruce up your garden and outdoor spaces, even if it's still a bit early to plant new flowers. Removing lifeless, rotting plants from last year’s soil can make a huge difference in your garden's overall appearance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Don’t forget to clear away any additional leaves and debris, as they too can detract from a clean, fresh look. A little extra TLC for your greenery can significantly boost your home's curb appeal!

TIDY UP LEAVES AND DEBRIS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you didn't get a chance to rake up fallen leaves before the snow hit last year, now’s your time to shine! Even if the grass isn't at its greenest, cleaning up leftover leaves and pet droppings can create a much more attractive picture for potential buyers.

CHECK YOUR DECK AND PATIO FURNITURE
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Take advantage of warm afternoons to clean your patio furniture, garden features, and other movable items around your yard. Winter often leaves a dull, grey film on these belongings, including your garage door and windows. A good scrub can restore their shine!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
While enhancing curb appeal, ensure the safety of visitors by clearing decks, walkways, and stairways of any built-up snow and ice. Salt and grit from the winter months can leave a daunting mess on driveways and walkways. Rinse these surfaces down with a hose while the weather cooperates to keep them looking neat and inviting.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As you prepare your home for sale, don’t forget to tackle some spring cleaning tasks. A well-maintained exterior can significantly boost your home's curb appeal and attract potential buyers.
