Fall & Winter Curb Appeal

Fall & Winter Curb Appeal



It’s easy to make your property look great in the spring and summer. In those months, it’s often warm and sunny; flowers are blooming, grass is growing and your home’s features can shine.

But what about the colder seasons? There’s no doubt that autumn and winter can make keeping up curb appeal a little challenging.

You can make your home look beautiful no matter the time of year with these tips.


Hardy Plants

You might not be able to have a lush floral garden in the winter, but there are plants that can stand up to harsh weather and give your yard some colour and character. You can also decorate with potted seasonal plants, like poinsettias.

Improve Your Lighting

Using lights to line your driveway and yard can enhance the appearance and safety of your home as the nights get longer. You can also add strings of lights to distract from the bare branches that may surround your house. Also, pot lights shining on your home is always a classy touch.

Maintenance

Raking leaves and shoveling snow aren’t fun jobs, but they’re necessary if you want to make your home look appealing. If you’re unable to do these tasks yourself, you could hire a neighbour or local landscaper instead.

Freshen Your Front Landing

Upgrade your front door and porch area with some new decor - maybe an evergreen wreath, or garlands, for example. If you have outdoor furniture on your front porch, you can also change the colour palette of any pillows to achieve a fitting seasonal appearance. Don't forget to keep it clear of cobwebs, and recycle bins, too.
