Happy Spring! You might have missed the change of seasons on March 20, but winter has officially been left behind. Hooray!
Unfortunately for Floridians, spring and fall are often overcome by the more dominant seasons of summer and winter. Other than an influx of pollen, the signs of spring are somewhat lacking in the Sunshine State.
But this doesn’t mean that we can’t bring spring into our homes! Here are some ways you can make the “Season of New Beginnings” an occasion to be celebrated!
1. Clean your gutters
As summer rains approach, now is a great time to clean out your gutters and repair any that might be damaged. You can accomplish this task with some time and a ladder, or you can hire a handyman to take care of it for you.
2. Take care of your yard
Spring is the perfect time to give your lawn and landscaping a little TLC. Reseed or add sod to your yard if it needs replacing. Remove any flowers, shrubs, or plants that died or shriveled during the winter and replace them with fresh, pleasant-smelling plants. If you have the space, consider planting a garden. Add potted plants to your patio. Give your yard new life and a breath of fresh air.
3. Inspect your home’s exterior
Our homes can incur damage without our knowledge, so this is an ideal time to give your home a check-up. Pay careful attention to your roof and call an inspector if you think it’s time for a new roof. Use a pressure washer to clean your sidings, driveway, and sidewalks. Clean the inside and outside of your windows for an extra sparkle. Upgrade any outdoor lights that need changing or fixing.
4. Add an outdoor space
An outdoor space project can be as simple as adding a porch swing or rocking chairs to your porch or patio. If you want something bigger or more permanent, try closing in your porch to create a sunroom. Or, build a gazebo or patio with an outdoor cooking space for dinner parties and barbeques. Whatever you choose, make it comfortable and make it your own.
