Enhance Your Curb Appeal for Spring
Another beautiful Maryland spring is just around the corner! Spring is typically the busiest season in real estate, so if you are thinking of listing your home, now is the time to start preparing. Enhance your home’s curb appeal with these helpful tips and ideas for spring.
Clean Up Edging
After a dreary Maryland winter, it’s time to freshen up your front yard! One way to get instant curb appeal is to clean up the edging around your garden beds. Early spring is a great time to clear out your tired landscape and install fresh mulch or pine straw in your garden beds. This small effort will create a fresh and clean look instantly.
Update Shutters
This minimal investment can make a big difference! Consider replacing your exterior shutters with new ones in a fresh, fun color. This is a simple way to completely revamp the look of your home’s exterior.
Fresh Doormat
Doormats can take a beating from constant foot traffic, pets, and severe weather. Throw out your current doormat and replace it with a new one before the spring season.
Update Entry Planters
New entry planters are a great way to add some greenery to your front doorstep. If you haven’t already invested in planters for the front door, we recommend ordering sizable pots to hold fresh greenery, like podocarpus or fresh topiaries.
Add Containers with Color
After you update the main planters at your front entryway, don’t forget to include a few pops of color in your surrounding planters! Spring is a great time to experiment with color. Include vibrant colors in your container gardens to catch the attention of your potential buyers.
Clear Out Dead Landscape
Sometimes your shrubs or plantings will not make it into the next spring season, so it’s important to clear out any dead or dying landscape before the spring. As you clear out the dead landscape, take note of which plants thrived in your yard and try to buy similar shrubs or perennials to replace the dead ones.
Power Wash the Exterior
Don’t forget to power wash the exterior of your home! This should be done at least once per year to clear away any mold or growth on your home’s exterior. Be sure to hire a professional to perform this task, so you can avoid accidentally applying too much pressure to the exterior, which can chip away the paint.
