I dressed up just for springtime today to give you a quick spring outdoor maintenance checklist. These tips will have your home looking its best in no time:

• Clear your lawn of debris such as sticks and branches
• Rake the leaves in the garden beds and the corners of the yard
• Replace your old mulch with fresh new mulch
• Divide and take care of your perennials
• Wash off the outdoor furniture
• Take care of and clean your bbq
• Reattach your hoses to your faucets
• Apply weed killer and fertilizer to your lawn and overseed bare spots
• Power-wash, sand, and stain your deck if needed
• Clean the siding and touch up the paint
• Wash your outdoor wood furniture
• Check the propane tank on your grill
• Repair any broken screens
• Clean your gutters and exterior windows
• Fix and seal any cracks in your driveway
• Plant your summer flowers and bulbs and cut down any woody stems from your plants

Lastly, a quick note on power-washing. It’s easy to select the wrong setting on a power washer and make divots in the wood siding of your house, so double-check that you have it on the “spray” cycle when you use your power washer. I know from experience!

These tips will get you ready to enjoy your first week of great springtime weather.
