Whether you’re hosting a backyard party or thinking of listing your home for sale, summer is a great time to make your property stand out. Landscaping plays a huge role in your home’s curb appeal, and with the right updates, you can make a big impact without a full renovation.
Refresh Your Mulch and Beds
A fresh layer of mulch instantly makes flower beds look tidy and cared for. It also helps with moisture retention and weed control during hot summer months. While you’re at it, trim back overgrown bushes or shape up edging to define the space and make everything look clean.
Add Color with Seasonal Plants
If your flower beds are looking tired, consider swapping out spring blooms for hardy summer annuals or perennials. Even a few pops of color near your front entryway or mailbox can go a long way. Choose heat-tolerant plants that thrive in Ohio summers and you’ll get more impact with less maintenance.
Clean the Canvas
Sometimes the biggest difference comes from simple cleanup. Remove dead limbs, rake up leftover debris, and pull any visible weeds. If you’ve got a tree stump lingering in the front yard, now’s the time to take care of it—it’s a small fix that can make a big visual improvement.
Don’t Forget the Lawn
Curb appeal isn’t just about flowers and mulch. A freshly mowed lawn with crisp edges signals pride of ownership. Consistent mowing and watering helps prevent patchy or yellow areas from creeping in during high summer heat.
