2. Deep Cleaning: Bringing Back To Life Every Dirt

3. Our Theme: Spring Decor to Brighten Up Your Home
Once your house has been decluttered and gleaming, the final step in spring cleaning your home is to update its décor to represent a new season. The most common colors used in creating a light, airy feel are pastel and spring-like colors like blues, greens, or yellows. Replace heavier winter fabrics for cotton or linen, and throw in some floral patterns; through table runners, throws, cushions, etc. Old-fashioned vases with fresh flowers are also an option to brighten anything and give it a little bit of scent. Replacing your decor with items that reflect the warm months will help you welcome in spring and create a more season-inspired space.
4. Getting Your Garden Ready To Grow
As you prettify your home for spring, don’t ignore the outside. The best time for you to prepare your outdoor space for the growing season is spring. Also, take this time to clear away any debris from winter like dead plants, fallen branches, and leaves. Thatch can be prevented if it is raked up and removed as well as aerating your soil making nutrients and water accessibility in the soil easier. By now, if you have flower beds, weed them and improve their fertility by digging over the soil into a fine tilth. Make sure that your garden tools are ready to go. A garden well-prepped this year will make for a more enjoyable show as things begin to fill in and grow.
5. Spring is a Time to Resurrect Your Lawn
The lawn has been beaten up by a long hard winter and is often patchy, yellowed, or simply thin. The warmer months are just around the corner, and what better time to revive it than Spring? Reseed bare patches, and add fertilizer to help with the new growth. Water the lawn often (notably in the early mornings) and encourage strong roots for the grass to grow well. Cutting should be regular, take care to prune the grass properly at first time, as cutting too short will weaken the grass. By spending a little extra time with your lawn in the spring, you can end up with rich green grass that makes your outdoor space pop.
6. Starting With a Fresh Canvas — In Full Bloom
Watching your garden bloom with bright, fresh flowers is one of the most enjoyable aspects of spring. Annuals and perennials can both be planted in the spring, so plant a little color and texture in your garden beds. Balcony flowers for a spring explosion: daffodils, hyacinths, tulips, and pansies; various lavender, peonies, and hosta for the second year of flowering. Remember to pack your plants properly and water them well –soak ’em good– and mulch..keeping as much moisture in the soil as possible, plus helping with weed suppression. Then you can be a lazy gardener and have the prettiest garden on the street all year long!
7. Gardens Keep on Top of the Maintenance
When it comes to taking care of your garden for spring, THIS is not all you need to do!! Healthy trimming back of shrubs, trees, and bushes is necessary for them to flourish and keep any diseases at bay.

A larger space to landscape will require a blower, not just because it is more efficient in clearing leaves and debris making your garden pristine once more, but also for practical reasons. Routine garden maintenance in the spring will enable your plants to flourish and result in an aesthetically pleasing, orderly outdoor space.
