With spring in bloom, it’s time to start thinking about how you’re going to prepare your home for the season. While we tend to spend more hours inside during winter, spring is a great time to get outside and enjoy our outdoor spaces. Here are some tips to help you prepare your home’s exterior for the season ahead.

Fall foliage is beautiful, but the beauty quickly turns into hard work once the leaves fall. Instead of spending hours raking and bagging the leaves this year, consider these simple alternatives that allow you to make the most out of the fallen piles.

A stroll through leaves can be the best of times, but cleaning them up can be the worst of times—unless you know how to do it efficiently and effectively.

The weather is unpredictable, and unless you live in an area that is used to receiving a lot of rain, it can be difficult to maintain a well-hydrated garden from rain alone, without use of a sprinkler or daily watering. The solution? A DIY rain barrel that can keep naturally falling rainwater you can use whenever you need (and that can help keep water bills down, too)!

The days of lounging on the beach in the sun and catching fireflies are numbered, which means one thing: summer is almost to a close. Ensure that your garden stays in tip-top shape through the colder months with these tips!

As the summer comes to a close, it’s a good time to do a little end of season cleanup to prepare for the fall season just around the corner.

Sometimes, we spend so much time focusing on interior design that we forget about the outdoor spaces of our homes. Many people with patios neglect that space, which means they’re missing out on beautiful outdoor retreats. If your patio decor is lacking, there are countless ways to add some flair to it.

The summer months can be a dry time of year for large portions of the country, and a lack of rain can put a damper on lots of things—the look of your lawn, in particular. Though it’s tempting to install a sprinkler or pick up the hose to keep things green, it can be costly and a drain on resources.

Ever wonder how you could make your favorite vegetables last longer? You can, just by saving your vegetable leftovers and regrowing them in water. It’s a simple, cost-saving way to get the most of your veggies, keep your fridge replenished, and reduce your grocery bill!

As the weather warms up and you shift from indoor cocktail parties to outdoor barbecues, tidying up your space outside becomes a top priority. Whether you’re looking to make just a few adjustments or are in need of a major turnaround, use these tips to get your outdoor space in order this spring.
