Spring Cleaning

Now that our weather is improving, it's time to think about Spring Cleaning! Whether you plan to list your home for sale or plan to live there for 20 more years, you must do annual maintenance to help extend the life and value of your investment.

Things to do:

plant annuals for bright, cheerful appearance.
plant perennials for renewal greenery.
trim shrubs away from windows to let the light shine in.
clear walkways for a safe, neat path to the front door.
paint the front door and shutters.
change outdoor lighting to CFL bulbs.
mulch is good but keep it away from wood siding, gravel or brick chips are better.
