Let’s face it: the winter weather can cause your home to take on a dull and dreary persona. Getting buried under all of that slush and snow definitely doesn’t help. Luckily, there are a few simple winter yard maintenance to boost your home’s curb appeal for the season.
Pruning your trees and shrubs can help keep your landscaping from looking dingy and overgrown. Use those pruning shears to your advantage and cut away branches so the tall trees frame and showcase your home.
Make sure your home is looking picture perfect, with a fully functioning snow covered gateway to give your home some character and style. If your gate has become rundown or refuses to shut properly, now’s the best time to fix it while your usual yard maintenance tasks are in hibernation.
While most plants go dormant in winter, there are some exceptions that thrive in the snow. Some of the most common and most beautiful snow flowers are the hellebores, which grow in a variety of color options.
Your home’s windows can become pretty dirty from all that snowy, grit and grime. Giving them a good scrub down will help your home sparkle and shine, and will also allow sunlight inside to help heat things up naturally.
A poorly cleared or iced over walkway is both unsightly and dangerous. Make sure to shovel snow as often as possible, and throw down some ice melt to make avoid a slippery situation for the family, guests, and passersby.
