Time to sell? Your outdoor spaces can be the bonus buyers want
 If you're preparing to sell this spring but aren't in a position to invest in ambitious renovations, such as a kitchen remodel or new hardwood floors, the best advice is to look to the "bonus" spaces in and around your home and maximize their appeal. |
Bring early spring to your home with indoor gardening
 Do images of flowering trellises laden with yellow, pink, green and purple blooms dance through your dreams? You may be ready for some warm spring-like temperatures, but the weather outside is still a little frightful. Ignore the weather and bring spring inside with some indoor gardening. |
Make your outdoor living spaces more beautiful and functional with proper lighting
 As winter's cold winds fade into memory, we're all eager to get outside and enjoy warmer weather. But if poor lighting means your outdoor activities end when the sun goes down, it may be time to brighten up. |
Prep your home now to keep bugs out this spring
As the weather warms up, life begins to pop up around the home. Spring is when flowers start blooming, grass turns green, birds return to the feeders - and insects and pests crawl out of the woodwork. Yikes! Yes, spring brings into your house the bugs and critters you'd prefer stay outside in the backyard. And not only do these creepy critters make your skin crawl, but they could potentially pass on to your family several different illnesses or cause damage to your house and possessions. |
Inspect home fencing to ensure safety and security
 Weather extremes are brutal on exterior landscaping. Rain, snow, wind and temperature variances all take a toll, especially on residential fencing. Now's the time to inspect fencing, gates and gate hardware around your property to ensure all are in good working condition. |
