How to Improve Your Home’s Curb Appeal

Your home’s curb appeal sets it apart from the rest, makes it an excellent place to relax in, and keeps your neighbors envious. You’ll also want to spend more outdoor time and take pride in how your home looks. When you want to achieve this, here are things to do.

Take Care of the Greenery

If your trees are overgrown and unruly, you’re not giving people a good first impression of your home. Improve that by trimming and making them look neat. 

On the same note, flowers are a great way to add color and a touch of liveliness to your home’s exterior. Make sure you get the right color to match the outdoors. You can try yellow, red, orange, or pink flowers for an energetic look. 

Additionally, keep the grass and plants healthy and shiny with regular watering and timely mowing. Get rid of dead leaves or trash too. Doing this will leave you with an attractive-looking yard year-round.

Clean The Gutters and Fix Leaks

You’ll want to check your gutters and fix any leaks so that water doesn’t get in and damage the house walls. If you discover rust, or broken pieces, replace or repair them. Also, clean out dirt and leaves from the gutters for water to flow smoothly.

Don’t forget to check the roof as water damage, missing shingles, and natural wear and tear give your home a tired and dull look. Take care of the damages or replace an old roof on time. Consulting an experienced roofing company can help you make an informed choice.

Paint The Exterior

The exterior of your home needs a fresh coat of paint to improve its curb appeal. If it is old and worn out, repainting will make all the difference. Choose earth colors, but go for paints that can withstand harsh weather conditions, giving your home a fresh and new look.

Clean The Exterior

A dirty and messy-looking yard is an instant put-off to you and the visitors. It’s also a breeding ground for pests. Keeping your yard clean will make it smell fresh and look new. Make sure you do a deep cleaning once in six months.

Fix The Walkway

Your walkway is one of the essential elements when it comes to your home’s curb appeal. Keep it in tip-top shape by cleaning the surface, clearing grass, leaves, and any other debris that accumulates on the walkway. You can also add some mulch or small rocks to the walkway for a more attractive look.

Add A Welcome Mat

A welcome mat is always a great move when trying to improve your home’s curb appeal. Make sure that the color and design of the welcome mat match your house decor or style. You can also add seasonal décors such as fall leaves, Christmas wreaths, and pumpkins to your porch area.

Improve Lighting

The more the light, the better the exterior of your house looks. Ensure that you have enough lighting fixtures on walkways and driveways for better visibility at night or in dark weather conditions.

Also, don’t forget to keep garbage in check. Make sure you have trash cans near entry points to dispose of waste, and don’t let junk accumulate in and around your yard. Throw away old appliances, furniture, and other items that are no longer in use.

As you do this, you’ll improve the curb appeal making your home look vibrant, inviting, and accommodative all the time.

SATURDAYS ARE FOR STELLA ❤️

Oh, hello there 👋 in case you’re new to my feed, this is Stella. She is an almost 3 year old goldendoodle from Stella, NC. No, we didn’t name her Stella because of the city she was born in. That was a complete coincidence!

She goes by many names - Stella, Stelladoodle, Stu Diddy, Stu, and Moose. Don’t ask 😂 (and whether she responds to any of those names is completely up to her.)

She’s finally graduating the puppy stages (I hope), but it is known that if you’re over and
👟you leave your shoes unattended

🏃‍♀️🏃🏃‍♂️you’ll be running circles around the house after her. Don’t say I didn’t warn you 😉

Today we celebrated the life of Heather McMechan, someone I am eternally grateful came into my life, and devastated has left this earth. The church was filled with people that loved her - not one person that crossed her path couldn’t NOT love her. 

Forever in my heart ❤️
