Beautify and freshen up with plants: After winter’s wrath of harsh winds and freezing temperatures spring is a welcomed season for brightening your outdoor home with planters, fresh foliage in your flower beds and a well manicured lawn. Walk around your home and assess what plants are dead and need replacing and which need tender loving care. Replace old mulch in flower beds; add gravel or decorative rocks in moisture rich areas such as under downspouts and walkways to ensure quality drainage. Add flower boxes and fresh flowers to your front entry for a burst of color to welcome in potential homebuyers.

Fix and repair outdoor amenities: When you consider sprucing up your spring curb appeal also look to architectural elements, fences, stepping stones, and even patio areas with barbecues and garden furniture. Check to make sure your mailbox, door numbers, and physical features of your home are not in disrepair and look welcoming. Walk around your outdoor home and check lighting around walkways and the garage too. Don’t forget curb appeal isn’t only for the daytime. Nighttime curb appeal is essential and will help homebuyers judge how safe your home is at night.
