Homeowner Tips for March 🌷

_{Brought to you by our sponsor, Carolyn Kaufmann, Realtor with Keller Williams Main Line}

As we transition into March, it's the perfect time to start preparing your home and garden for the warmer months ahead. Here are some essential homeowner tips to help you get ready for spring:

1. Prepare for Spring Maintenance

   • Inspect Your Roof: Look for damage from winter storms, such as missing shingles or leaks. 🏠

   • Clean Gutters: Ensure gutters are clear to prevent water buildup and potential leaks. 🧹

   • Service Your HVAC System: Schedule a spring inspection and change air filters for optimal performance. ❄️🔥

2. Spring Clean Your Home

   • Declutter: Go through your home to clear out unnecessary items. Donate or sell what you no longer use. A decluttered home can improve both your living space and its market value. Need help? I have great resources! 🧺

3. Garden and Yard Prep

   • Lawn Care: Prep your yard by raking dead grass, removing debris, and considering aeration for better water absorption. 🌿

   • Planting: Start planting flowers, vegetables, or herbs that thrive in spring. Check the local planting schedule or begin purchasing your plants. 🌼🌱

Looking forward to warmer and longer days ahead! 🌞
