4 Outdoor Repair & Maintenance Jobs for May

 

1 Relaxation Space

 

If you’re looking for a more enticing outdoor space, start with the basics. Declutter any outdoor furniture you no longer use. It is easier to start with a clean space and only add the furniture that you’ll use for summer.

 

Make sure you have comfortable seating as you are more likely to relax and spend time outdoors.

 

Consider changing the landscape of your garden.  With carefully selected plants, it can alter the way you look at your garden and make it more enticing.

 

If you don’t have one already, a deck, pergola or gazebo provides you with an outdoor entertainment area. Adding some trellis will create privacy which is integral to relaxation.

 

 

 

 

2. Fences and Gates

 

Check your fences, gates and any wooden areas for any dirt and debris. This debris seals in moisture, which can cause all sorts of problems. Make sure you regularly keep these areas clean.

 

Check your fences and gates closely for any damage. Look for any cracks, holes or dry rot. If you see any damage or have broken support beams or decking boards, Hire A Hubby can help you fix or replace them.

 

 

 

 

3. Garden Tidy Up

 

Don’t overlook the importance of the garden – especially with the warmer weather ahead. If you have a lawn, you want to make sure it is cut and in good condition with no weeds. Rake up any debris or fallen leaves and put fertiliser down. Prune trees and hedges and add fresh mulching to your garden beds for a neater and low maintenance look.

 

If you have a deck or Pergola, you may want to check it for wear and tear. It is important to keep them in good condition and have them oiled at least twice a year. Our Hubbies can help rejuvenate your existing deck or build you a completely new one, just in time for the warmer weather.

 

If your pathways are looking a little untidy and need some TLC, you should call Hire A Hubby to come tidy them up. We can even remove the dirt, moss, mould, and stains using high-pressure cleaning equipment on concrete or stone pavers. It’s an economical way of making your pathways look brand new again as well as making them safer to walk on.

4. Exterior Painting

 

A new paint job can really do wonders for your home’s look and feel.  An exterior job can improve your street appeal and even add value to your home. Remember the saying ‘first impressions count’, well, don’t delay. Give your home a fresh coat of paint in time for Summer.

 

Depending on the style of the house and location, the exterior is where you can sometimes go a bit bolder in colour. Always check to see if you need council approval first.

 

It is always worth washing down the walls and doors and giving the windows and ledges a good clean. If you have any chipped or faded paint, give Hire A Hubby a call. Our Hubbies offer a professional paint service that includes wall preparation, professional paint finishes and complete clean up after the job is done.
