First impressions are everything, so think of your yard like the first impression of your home. Keep it clean and well kept and you’ll have significant curb envy, but neglect it, and you’ll have some unhappy neighbors. Beyond a well paved driveway and walkway, here are a few yard maintenance tips that can make or break your curb appeal.
Trim Hedges
One way to give your yard that wow look is by adding in some hedges — just make sure you keep them trimmed! Overgrown hedges can not only be a significant eyesore but a safety hazard too. Wild bushes can lead to a obstructed driveway and walkway, and will also bring down the appearance of your home.
Love Your Lawn
A green and luscious lawn is an excellent compliment to your the driveway and walkway, but not all lawns need the same TLC. One of the best ways to keep your grass greener than the other side is to know what the proper mowing length is for the type of grass you have. Keeping your grass at a reasonable height will give you a dense, less weeded lawn.
Seasonal Reseed
If your lawn isn’t looking so green or you're currently living with more dirt than grass — it’s time to reseed. Reseeding in the Fall and Spring will ensure that your lawn has accurate time to grow. Seeding now will allow for the roots to grow strong during the winter and summer months.
Keep it Leaf Free
The change of color and the falling leaves can be festive, but when it comes to your curb appeal, it’s not very helpful. Leaves can not only be an eyesore but if not cleaned up in a timely matter, they can leave a messy damp mess on your driveway and vehicles. So to have a wow-worthy yard, you’ll want to keep up with raking.
