Spruce Up Your Curb Appeal this Spring

Make a great first impression and attract potential homebuyers through investing your time and efforts into creating eye-catching exteriors for your home. Now that it’s the busiest time of the year for real estate, learn how to step up your property’s curb appeal with these four simple tips.

Tip #1 Invest in manicured lawns
Start your yard staging by cutting the grass and bushes out of your way. Clean out dead leaves and mow often to ensure a thicker and fuller lawn. You can either hire a professional to have it done, or you can invest in “no mow” grass which requires less care and maintenance.

Tip #2 Splash your yard with colorful blooms
Flowers give off a fresh and inviting vibe that can aid in making your yard pop. Before adding them, take time to research on what flowers are right for your climate, type of soil, yard size, sun exposure and home aesthetic. When buying flowers for your yard, it’s important to always take your yard size into account because the flowers that you buy might not work for the size of your yard. For sizable front yards, flower beds and stone decorations work perfectly. On the other hand, flowers placed in pots and planters would work best with small yards.

Tip #3 Oust spring pests
Spring is also the time when pests are most likely to start attacking your plants. You can try asking advice from local gardeners for effective ways to keep these unwelcome visitors away with simple, non-toxic methods. You may also try growing plants such as basil, rosemary, and petunias, as these are plants that can help naturally repel annoying insects.

Tip #4 Create a well-balanced outdoor appeal
Choose plants and ornaments that complement your home style and color. Beautify your yard by grouping flowers harmoniously. You may put them into pots and planters or create flower beds, putting walkways, stone ornaments, and garden lights.
