Spring is closer than you think! Here are 10 ways to make sure your garden and home exterior are ready to shine.
1 It’s a good idea to get your gutters cleaned once a year to avoid build-up of leaves and branches. Forget climbing that ladder yourself; a pro can take care of it easily (and injury free).

2 Part of the reason your new house was such a bargain was the color—cotton candy pink. So now it’s time for a new paint job, to give the place a brand new look.

8 To give your house more privacy, invest in a fence. Whether it’s wood, vinyl or wrought iron, the fence will enclose your house and give your kids a safe enclosed area to play in.
