As the winter season gradually makes way for spring, it’s time to transition your Kingston home from cold weather preparations to welcoming the warmer months. In this edition of our Kingston Home Maintenance Guide – March, we’ll highlight four crucial tasks to get your property ready for the rejuvenating season ahead. Following these maintenance tips will ensure your home remains in top condition and ready for outdoor enjoyment. Let’s dive in!
1. Check Exterior Drainage
As the snow melts and spring rains approach, inspecting your home’s exterior drainage is vital. Ensure that water can properly drain away from the foundation to prevent water damage and potential basement flooding. Consider adding extensions to downspouts to direct water away from the house.
2. Clean and Organize the Garage
Before spring brings outdoor activities, take the opportunity to declutter and organize your garage. Clear out winter gear and make space for gardening tools and outdoor equipment. A tidy and well-organized garage allows easy access to your belongings and keeps everything in its place.
3. Inspect Outdoor Faucets and Hoses
Check outdoor faucets and hoses for any damage that may have occurred during the winter. Repair or replace any leaks or cracks to ensure a smooth watering experience when spring gardening begins. Be sure to turn on outdoor faucets and test their functionality before regular use.
4. Prune Shrubs and Bushes
With the arrival of spring, it’s time to prune overgrown shrubs and bushes. Trimming away dead branches encourages healthy growth and enhances the overall appearance of your home’s exterior. It also prevents potential damage to siding and windows caused by overgrown vegetation. Learn more about pruning shrubs and bushes here.
