Are you ready to enjoy your endless summer? Start by prepping your home so you can hang loose all season long!
Walk the walk(ways)
Seal cracks on your patio, driveway, and sidewalks. Replace broken stepping-stones or top off gravel on garden paths.
Feed the green
Fertilize your lawn and garden beds, and lay down fresh mulch to hold in moisture.
Inspect the perimeter
Check fences and gates for warped or decayed wood, rust, tilting posts, or discoloration. Repair as needed.
Prep for cookouts
Clean the grill, and check that gas hoses and connections are secure. Stash a fire extinguisher within easy reach for safety.
Get ready to lounge
Clean outdoor furniture, the deck or patio, and any other outdoor relaxation spots.
Keep pests at bay
Clean and repair screens, and schedule pest control services if needed.
