Maintain Your Outdoor Space With Ease

Keep your outdoor living areas, like your porch, lawn and garden, in top condition for all the spring and summer get-togethers to come. With a few outdoor maintenance projects, you can help your home make its best impression yet.

First, take a walk around your property and get rid of any trash and recycling. Give your lawn a fresh cut, since it’s the first thing your guests will see when they arrive. Consider sharpening your lawn mower blades if it’s been a while since you’ve used your mower.

Then move on to the patio. Patio upgrades don’t have to be a big project. Use a pressure washer and outdoor cleaner to freshen up your deck, patio furniture and cushions. Clean your grill to get it ready to make dozens of hamburgers and hot dogs this season.

Once everything is clean and tidy, think through your outdoor living space design. See if there’s a way to rearrange the furniture you already have to give the area a new look. If you do want to upgrade your outdoor space, start with small things, like new plants in your garden. Colorful flowers and new pots make a big impact.

You don’t have to do an exterior home remodel to make your outdoor space look its best. Browse our inspiration library for new outdoor living space ideas. Lowe’s has everything you need to take your outdoor space maintenance to the next level.
