As the temperature drops and snowflakes start to fall, it’s time to transform your home into a cozy winter haven.
The clocks have changed and spring is just around the corner! To make sure you’re ahead of the game this season, we put together this handy guide for getting your home ready for spring!
Winter is gone and the yard is back! If you are green-fingered, early spring is the best time to begin planning your garden (whether vegetables or flowers). Make note of – your soil type, drainage, and angle of where you plan to plant. Flat ground, with a slight gradient for run-off, is best. Top tip: pick an area with optimum sunlight.

Does your house have a crawl space? Inspect the vents along the foundation walls. Vents provide air circulation to prevent moisture and mold growth – they also discourage pests from nesting in your walls and foundations. All this means foundation vents are very important! Screens collect leaves and other debris from fall and winter – clean them and check for damage. Clean vents by hand or use a vacuum, and ensure you repair, or replace, any damaged screens.
We might sound like a scratched record (we recommended cleaning gutters back in the winter), but it is just as important to clean your gutters in the spring. Clear any leaves or detritus blocking the way. Repair or replace damaged units. And since it is spring, keep an eye on any critters who might start nesting. It’s harder to get rid of pests once they are there.
Well… not just yet. Your grill has collected dust during fall and winter. It will also have been exposed to the elements. These maintenance tips from HGVT are useful for both charcoal and gas grills.
It might sound obvious, but there is a lot of truth to spring cleaning. Windows stay closed over the winter, while we run indoor heating. Clear your filters, circulate fresh air, and address any environmental damage. This thorough checklistgoes through each room step-by-step. It is one of the best out there.
