With the weather warming up, it is time to start getting outside and sprucing up your outdoor living spaces. Sometimes outdoor maintenance can be overwhelming, but we’re here to make it as simple as possible! Here are five ways to spruce up your home after a harsh Wisconsin winter.

1. Pressure wash the exterior of your home including siding, porches, windows, and garage
 doors. Pressure washers can be rented for a very reasonable price, you could purchase
your own, or borrow one from a friend. You would be surprised how much dirt builds up on the exterior of your home during the winter and what a big difference pressure washing your home makes on the appearance of your home.

2. Make sure your mailbox is in good condition. If your mailbox sits on a post it can sometimes become crooked or loose during the winter. It is always a good idea to make sure that your post is straight and secure. Also, if you have house number stickers on your mailbox make sure they are all secure and not peeling. If the numbers are peeling, replace them.

3. Refresh your driveway. It is always a good idea to keep your driveway maintained to keep it looking good and lasting a long time. After a long winter you can add a sealer to your driveway. It is simple to do and will make a big difference in the appearance and life of your driveway.

4. Add plants around the entryway. Adding some plants around the entryway of your
home makes it look inviting to guests and is eye-catching to people passing by. You could
create your own arrangements or choose a pre-made one from the store; both are great options!

5. Add furniture to porches or patios. If your home has a porch or patio, now is a great time to add furniture to it. By adding furniture you create an outdoor living space for entertaining friends and family or just relaxing. Also, furniture creates a completed look to the exterior of your home.

By doing these simple improvements to the exterior of your home, you will create a great outdoor living space that has beautiful curb appeal! For even more tips on how to improve the exterior of your home click here!
