When the weather warms up, it’s all about relaxing outdoors. But it’s possible you’ve neglected upkeep on your home’s outdoor spaces during the chilly months of winter. To enjoy yourself more this season, take time to spruce up your yard. Here are some quick tips.

Do a Survey

Take a walk around the perimeter of your patio, deck and yard to survey what needs to be cleaned, repaired or replaced. Did pot-ted plants and lawn ornaments survive the cooler months? Are outdoor light fixtures functioning? Are fallen branches littering the yard? Make a mental to-do list.

Deep Clean

Like interior spaces, periodic deep cleans are necessary outdoors too. But don’t waste your leisure time. “With the right tools you can work smart, not hard,” says Jeff Devlin, host on a popular home improvement channel. “A heavy-duty cleaner, such as Mean Green Degreaser, not only works indoors, but is ideal for my tough outdoor cleaning jobs.” Devlin recommends using the Super

Strength multi-surface formula -- which is lab-tested to clean and remove grease, grime, mildew, dirt, and oil more effectively than its competitors -- to clean and remove mildew from patios, outdoor furniture, concrete, composite and wood fences and siding, as well as to clean and degrease tools, lawn equipment and grills. Use it as a concentrat-ed spray or diluted solution. Clean with a brush or sponge. “For your toughest jobs, add it to your pressure washer,” says Devlin. Helpful clean-ing tips can be found at MeanGreenDegreas-er.com.

Routine Maintenance Perform routine upkeep to keep items from falling into disrepair or becoming over-grown or unkempt. Sweep walkways and your deck regularly, especially if they are situated under trees. Promote a healthy lawn by mowing it regu-larly, never removing more than one-third of the grass blade. Keep gutters devoid of leaves and debris so that water does not collect in your yard or at the base of your home’s structure. Rinse patio furniture, umbrellas and awnings using water or a diluted cleaner. Spring is in the air. With a little effort, you can be prepared to make the most of it.

You may feel locked into the style you inherited when you purchased your house. But you have more power than you think to transform your reality home into your dream home. To make a big style impact, consider these upgrades and projects:

Stunning Curb Appeal

Don’t settle for a drab or standard home exterior, par-ticularly when it comes to your roof. A beautiful, colorful update will enhance your home’s exterior design and boost curb appeal. For long-term durability, consider a polymer slate or shake roofing product, like those from DaVinci Roofs-capes, which are offered in 50 standard colors and a variety of striking color blends. However, picking the right exterior color scheme and style can be daunting without guidance, say experts. “Many homeowners are afraid to shake things up with color because they don’t want to make a mistake,” says Kate Smith, a color trend forecaster with Sensational Color. Luckily, free resources can provide guidance and tips on understanding your home’s exterior features and how to play off them with color ac-cents. For example, Smith has written a free 36-page guide, “FRESH Color Schemes for Your Home Exterior.” The guide explores color options for seven different home styles and eases the process of choosing color palettes to com-plement your home exterior. To download the free guide, visit davinciroofscapes.com.

An Interior Oasis An ancient tub, a leaky toilet -- these are bathroom features to bid farewell to forever. Your bathroom should

be more than just a functional space; it should be an oasis from busy, stressful days. Whether you are look-ing for customary bathroom elements or a spa-like whirl-pool system, seek out a col-lection, rather than a la carte replacements, to achieve a coordinated look. For example, the Affordable Style Designer Series suites from Mansfield Plumbing, come in a variety of unified traditional and modern designs. If you want a bit more from your bathroom, consider new products, such as the Micro-Derm Therapeutic Bath, which silently infuses millions of oxygen-rich microbubbles into bathwater to relax, clean and exfoliate skin.

A Touch of Elegance

Give your interior spaces pri-vacy and elegance by rethink-ing windows. In key rooms, consider replacing standard windows with privacy win-dows. Decorative glass windows add character to a space be-cause they become the view. They serve as their own art-work for the room with the added benefit of providing privacy in the home. Those from Hy-Lite include square, geometric and oval shaped windows in both fixed and operable styles and in var-ious sizes, so they can be used as a focal point in a room or to create a striking accent wall of windows. Create an eye-catch-ing space in the kitchen with acrylic block windows, or complement your home’s architectural style with one of the fashionable silk-screened windows featured in their Home Designer Collection. If you’re unsatisfied with your house, consider making key upgrades and replace-ments that will add elegance, beauty and a touch of your own personality.

Smart Tips to Go Green

Going “green” has increasingly moved from a trend to a global initia-tive. But the best place for individuals to start minimizing their impact on the environment is in spaces where they spend the most time. Here are some ways people are reducing their carbon footprints at home and work.

Flooring

For homeowners, there are many different types of green or eco-friendly flooring options today. For example engineered wood floors have a wood veneer, which uses far less material than solid hardwood floors. They’re also more dimensionally stable. Today’s modern laminate floor options are made from recycled wood fiber. There are many more eco-friendly options -- ranging from bamboo and cork to natural linoleum, sisal fiber area rugs, seagrass and coir mats (made from coconut husks) -- along with stones and tiles, carpeting and natural wood. These modern trends are offered by brands like Floor Coverings International, a mobile flooring franchise, which also offers greener options in traditional hardwoods. Their “Epic” option uses 50 percent less newly harvested wood than conventional flooring and is sourced from domestic forests. Epic (shorthand for Environmentally preferred, Peak performance, Installation advantages, Complete product offering) is certified at Cradle-to-Cradle Silver, eligible for LEED credits and meets GREENGUARD indoor air quality requirements. More information can be

found at www.FloorCoveringsInternational.com and www.Flooring-Franchise.com.

Lighting

The lighting industry is going green. GE recently announced that it will stop selling traditional lightbulbs by the end of 2016. Residential LEDs -- especially ENERGY STAR rated products -- use at least 75 percent less energy and last 25 times longer than incandes-cent lighting. Widespread use of LED lighting has the greatest potential impact on energy savings in the United States. By 2027, widespread use of LEDs could save us more than $30 billion at today’s electricity prices. Luckily, pioneering companies like LED Source are actively retro-fitting major chains and other businesses with LED lighting. As North America’s first franchisor of LED lighting, they are helping businesses go green and save money in the commercial, entertainment, and residential markets. More information can be found at www.ledsource.com.

Shop Green

A new green retail revolution is giving homeowners more earth-friendly choices. At the forefront of this movement are brands like SuperGreen Solutions, a franchised chain that offers a one-stop-shop for a range of energy efficient solutions for commercial and residential cus-tomers, as well as expert advice and guidance through in-home consulta-tions on the best products for each customer. They also offer rebate advice, tax credit guidance, sales, installation and after-sales service. More information can be found at SuperGreenSolutionsFranchise.com. There are many ways to get on board this important trend and go green. Start by making smart swaps and upgrades to improve efficiency and lower bills.
