Try These Weekend Projects This Summer

By

“Curb appeal” can mean different things to different people. Some folks want more curb appeal so they can attract more offers to their home. Others just want to make their neighbor across the street green with envy knowing their lawn will never look as good. Whatever it means for you, enhancing your home’s curb appeal doesn’t have to be a complicated month-long project. In fact, with the right tools, a little ambition, and some good ol’ fashioned elbow grease, you can enhance your home’s curb appeal in a weekend or even a couple of hours. Here are four projects to try this summer.

2000 PSI Pressure Washer

Plant Flowers Out Front

The entryway to your home should be an inviting preview of what’s to come. From your guests to the random delivery guy, a memorable entryway can do a lot for your home’s curb appeal. If you want to instantly add some color and pizzazz to your entryway, flowers and other plants are always a great option, especially during the summer months. If you already have flowerbeds at the front of your house, fill them with flowers. And for a super quick and easy project, just place a few pre-potted flowers or plants around the front door.

Pressure Wash the Exterior

Your home might not seem dirty from afar, but once you hit it with a 2000 PSI pressure washer, you might be shocked at the amount of grime you wash away. Pressure washing the exterior of your home can make it appear brighter and reflects your hard work as a homeowner. From dirt and dust to cobwebs or debris in the gutters, it’s worth it to pressure wash your home at least once this summer. While you’re at it, give your driveway a rinse too.

Start a Street-Side Garden

Many people like to keep their garden and other plants closer to the house or even in the backyard, but when it comes to curb appeal, you might want to consider what the actual curb looks like. While you might not want to plant your prized heirloom tomatoes right next to the street, colorful plants and flowers, perhaps near your mailbox, can help show that you’ve put some effort into making your home look welcoming.

Go for Symmetry

Symmetry is pleasing to the eye, and, thankfully, it’s not as hard to create as you might think. Once you start looking for symmetrical opportunities, you’ll notice all sorts of places to add fun designs. For example, you can add additional lighting to create symmetry around your front door. Or, if you have hedges, break out your battery hedge trimmer and clean up the sides to match. As long as you don’t go overboard, focusing on symmetry for your yard and front entryway can do wonders for your home’s overall curb appeal.

Pressure washers can be an excellent option for anyone wanting to clean their home, sidewalk, deck, and more. Used improperly, though, they can cause damage all too easily. However, with the proper tools, prep work, and technique, pressure washers electric instead of gas-powered can help you quickly make your home sparkling clean. Electric Pressure Washer Do the Prep Work Before you even take out your pressure washer electric instead of gas-powered, you will need to do a little prep work. Thanks to your electric pressure washer, you won’t need to make a trip to the gas station, but you will need to make sure you have a power outlet within reach of the area you plan to wash. You will also want to test the flow from your hose. If it takes more than two minutes to fill a five-gallon bucket, there may not be enough flow to allow the pressure washer to work properly. Then, make sure the pressure washer inlet filter is clean and that all connections are secure. Test the pressure washer o...
