1. Mowing weekly or bi-weekly
During growing season in the spring and summer months, there is usually a lot of rainfall so it’s best to keep up with the growth of the grass by mowing once or twice a week to maintain a nicely manicured lawn. If the grass grows too tall, it can inhibit growth or suffocate your yard.
2. Edging
Trimming the edges of your yard gives it a nice, clean, manicured look that really takes it to the next level. Mowing can make a difference but edging your yard truly highlights the perimeter of the lawn.
3. Picking weeds
Unwanted weeds can be an eyesore in your landscaping when you have plants and flowers in particular spots. If you leave them untreated or unpicked, they can suffocate the surrounding grass or spread all over your lawn and ruin the look.
4. Plant flowers from seed in ground or in hanging planters around or near your front door
Understandably, it’s more convenient to buy flowers from the hardware or garden store and plant them in your yard but buying them from seed is significantly more affordable. It does take more time to see results because they have to be planted, watered, germinate, and then sprout from the soil and then be nurtured to finally see the outcome of what it will look like, however, you will likely save hundreds buying from seed vs buying from the store.
5. Plant perennial flowers and plants to make sure they come back every year
Planting perennial flowers and plants are more convenient versus annual plants because you only need to buy and plant them once they will come back every year. Annual varieties need to be planted every year.
6. Pressure wash your driveway, walkway, and front porch
Pressure washing your driveway washes away all of the dirt and grime making it pop and standout. Dirt from outside can collect in your porous concrete driveway making it look muddy. Also, fluids from your vehicle can leak onto the ground making it look dirty. Spending an hour or two to pressure wash your driveway can make a big difference to the overall look of your curb appeal and not cost too much money.
