As Spring approaches, it's the perfect time to make improvements to your home's curb appeal. Here are some easy, low-cost, and low-maintenance ideas to get you started.

Revitalize Your Front Door

Your home's entry is the focal point of its curb appeal.

You should paint your front door or replace those old, rusty door knobs with something more visually appealing.

Improve your Outdoor Lighting

Outdoor lighting adds safety and security to your home while adding curb appeal. You can install lighting fixtures as accent lighting, or perhaps illuminate a pathway in your front yard. Solar lights are an environmentally-friendly solution.

Make a Garden

Consider adding shrubs, hedges, or a mix of plants to your garden to help show your home instead of hiding it. If your goal is privacy, consider adding a few shrubs or hedges! Include a mix of plant sizes, colors, and textures, and consider how they bloom during the year.

Give Your Driveway Some TLC

It is possible to improve the curb appeal of your driveway without doing a complete redo by first repairing any cracks and stains (and killing any weeds), then adding stones or power-washing the concrete.

By creating a clear, crisp transition between paved and unpaved surfaces, you can enhance the landscape and offset the driveway.
