Spruce up your home’s curb appeal

Curb appeal is your home’s version of a first impression. Create a welcoming outdoor environment at your home and build curb appeal with these inexpensive and simple ideas:

– Upgrade your front door with enhancements like new hardware or exterior lighting. Add a wreath or plants for a pop of color.

– Clean and pressure wash outdoor surfaces such as your deck, fence, patio, walkway and driveway.

– Upgrade your front landscape for a fresh look, or try potted plants or window boxes as an easier alternative. Crotons and hibiscuses are low-maintenance and colorful plants that thrive all year in warmer climates.
