Spring is finally here! Around here, when the snow begins to melt we get excited to start anew with the warmth of spring and summer coming our way.
Exterior home maintenance is a spring activity and part of the winter clean up. Check out our
helpful tips and checklist items in our Spring Maintenance Checklist article.

Raised Garden Bed
Spring is also a time for planting and growth.
Last summer we wrote an article explaining How to Make a Raised Garden Bed. This week we finally had the opportunity to plant
vegetables in it.
Regardless of your climate outdoor living spaces are quickly becoming popular forcooking, entertaining and relaxation.
More and more of my clients are looking to the outdoors to expand their homes and bring the same comforts they have inside to outdoor
spaces, by creating multipurpose outdoor living spaces that function as extensions of their home.

Wood Deck to Blue Stone Patio
This 18 year old wood deck has gone through many changes over the years.
It started off twice its size and then I built the screen porch. It had railings and granite steps and they eventually were taken off, now its time to remove the entire deck and replaced with a blue stonestone patio.
Trees that live in manicured landscape and in grass areas need fertilizer more then ones that do not compete with grass and are allowed to have their leaves naturally compost.
It’s a good
idea to periodically fertilize your trees and shrubs every two or three years, during the growing season, to improve the health and appearance of the trees. Evergreens should be fertilized every three or four years.
