Make Appointments With Contractors Now
Contractors get booked up very early in the Spring. I call my roofer and tell him what buildings I want roofed now. If you need a new garage door installed, contact them directly. Call your furnace man if you need a new AC in your home. Get your estimates now if you need new windows or siding installed in your home. The early bird gets the worm, as the old saying goes.
Powered Outdoor Equipment
I take my snowblowers at the end of the winter season and have new spark plugs put in them, along with a tune-up before they get stored away for the season. Put fresh oil in your lawnmowers and get their blades sharpened early before people start needing repairs. Ensure your weed whackers and chain saws run up to speed, or have them serviced. I have my service man put fresh oil in my car and check the vehicle over in early Spring.
Plan Out Your Garden
I have already purchased my garden seeds. If you wait to buy your seeds until the last minute, they may be sold out at the stores. I plan where I want to plant my garden seeds as I always rotate the area where I plant my seeds. Get your garden tiller serviced and buy any new garden tools.
Trees Cut Down Or Trimmed
Call your tree man now, as they get wholly booked very early. I tell him how many trees I want to be taken down or trimmed up. We discussed the project and agreed on a price for both of us.
Lawn Care
You will generally receive a discount by booking an early lawn care service. I have my lawn sprayed and fertilized twice a year. To begin with, I had it done four times a year until the weeds got under control. If you cannot cut it yourself, hire a man to mow your lawn.
Garden Care And Weeding
Some people hire a gardener to weed their gardens and flower beds. There are not many gardeners to engage anymore. Look early for a gardener and ask your friends if they know of anyone who might be willing to weed your garden and flower beds for you.
Trees And Plants
If you want to plant any particular trees, consider ordering them now. Some varieties are tough to find. Some apple trees are tough to come by, so put your order in now. If you want to plant a fancy plant outdoors, you may want to order it beforehand.
Your Handy Man Or Carpenter
Tell your handyman or carpenter what you want to accomplish this year with repairs and redecorating your home. You may want to hire an interior decorator; your handyman will most likely know a very dependable one. I hope all your projects get completed on schedule this year and your home and property are how you dreamed they could be.
