How To Get Your Seattle Home Ready for Spring

Spring is just around the corner, and it is time to start dusting off your lawn equipment and cleaning up around the outside of your home. There are some tasks you will want to get done before the warm weather hits that way you are ready to enjoy those days and evenings as you have been longing for. You will find all the tools and supplies you need to take care of your home readiness routine at Greenwood Hardware.

• Inspect all of your outdoor light fixtures and replace any broken or burnt out bulbs. Clean the glass to allow the bulb’s brightness to really shine.
• Check out the bricks or stones of your walkway to the front door or in the backyard. Snow and rain tend to cause some damage, especially if you had to shovel snow. Replace the damaged bricks or consider redoing the whole walkway to give your landscaping a face lift.
• Start cleaning out the flower beds and get rid of debris that may have been blown in throughout fall and winter. Get the soil ready for planting new flowers. Now is the time to get your bulbs in the ground as well.
• Check out the area around your front door. Could your door use a fresh paint job or maybe the door jamb is looking a little rough around the edges? You will be amazed at what some new hardware and a paint job on the front door can do for the overall appearance of your house.
• Prune the dead branches off your shrubs and trees. Be careful not to prune those that are still dormant.
• Consider adding a fresh coat of paint to your outdoor furniture. You can find paint designed for metal or wood furniture. Go bold with a fresh new vibrant color.
• Brush off the cobwebs that are lurking in the corners and spray off any dirt and grime that may have splattered onto the outside of the home.
