The weather is finally warming up and the days are becoming longer! This is the perfect time of year to get outside and do a little yard work or repairs to your home. Whether you are trying to sell your home or just want to update the yard, we have some tips for creating the ultimate curb appeal in the St. Louis area.
- Roof, siding and shingles. The winter months can be hard on your home, so now is the ideal time to give it a little TLC. Check the roof for any loose shingles or damage caused by the harsh winter months.
- Driveway repair. Driveways are an important part of the front of your house. It’s how your guests will arrive to your home. If you are noticing cracks in your driveway, the spring and summer months are the best times to reseal or have a new driveway put in. Don’t forget about the pathway to your front door as well. Make sure it is in good condition and easily accessible.
- Add outdoor lighting. This simple touch brings attention to your home while also providing safety and security.
- Upgrade your address numbers. It’s time to lose those faded numbers. Updating your address makes finding your home easier and creates charm and brings personality to a home.
- Paint your front door a bright color. Your front door is an area where you can add a lotof personal flair. A bright color brings attention to the entrance of your home and sets it apart from others.
- Add flowers to a front yard garden. Flowers are an easy way to add color to a yard and create a beautiful landscape. Petunias are one of the most popular flowers to plant and come in a variety of bright colors. Daisies, forget-me-nots and lillies are all great planter flowers that are easy to take care of as well as gorgeous. Lavender is not only fragrant, but also has a wonderfully vivid purple color and would make a great addition to the landscape of your yard.
