Your Home Maintenance Checklist for Spring

  • Clean Patio Furniture
    Patio furniture should be an inviting place to sit and share with company. Scrub down your chairs, and throw your cushions or their covers into the laundry.
  • Plant a Tree
    Thinking of planting more shade trees in your back yard? Spring is the ideal time to tackle this chore. Check with your local nursery for trees best suited to your micro-climate, and whatever you do, plant your trees a safe distance from your home’s foundation and/or septic system.
  • Check the Foundation
    Speaking of foundations, check your sidewalks and driveway for emerging cracks or other signs of movement in the concrete.
  • Clean Out the Gutters
    Make sure your gutter system is free of leaves and debris, and that your downspouts deposit water away from your home’s foundation.
  • Tune-up Garden Tools
    Don’t begin your spring and summer garden to-dos with dull blades or broken equipment. Check your lawnmower’s blades and clippers and sharpen them if need be.
