May Home Maintenance

Before you can enjoy lazy days in the yard, there are a few outdoor maintenance tasks you might want to go ahead and tackle. Roll up those sleeves, throw on some sunscreen, pop in your earbuds, and get going!⁣
Wash away winter’s dirt and grime from your windows.. Enjoy your beautiful yard as things bloom.⁣
Winter weather can take a toll on hard surfaces. Check for new cracks on your patios and sidewalks, replace damaged pavers, and fire up the pressure washer.⁣
Don’t wait for temps to climb before double-checking that your air-conditioning unit is in good working order. A typical AC service check will cost anywhere from $75 to $200—and it’s totally worth every penny.⁣Yourourr lawn is green today doesn’t mean it’s ready for summer. Your grass needs nutrients, and May is a great time to add fertilizer to keep those weeds at bay all summer long.⁣
Before you fire up the grill, make sure the grills are clean, the connections are secure, and your propane tanks are full.⁣
Cold temps can cause wood to warp, so check for loose boards and broken gate latches to keep kids and pets where they should be.⁣
Fresh mulch is like a new paint job for your outdoors. Aim to spread mulch 2 to 4 inches across all your beds. ⁣
If you have a septic tank, it should be pumped and inspected every two to three years.
