The Difference Between Spring and Summer Curb Appeal

Posted on April 28th, 2021 by Devine Bros

When you are considering your home’s curb appeal, it is important to consider the season. The benefits and weaknesses of each season can affect how well your home stands out. 

Spring offers lush greenery that brightens up a house, but there is also the potential for heavy rain or hail to damage plants. In contrast, summer offers vibrant colors from flowers in bloom, as well as trees bearing fruit and vegetables that may be ready for harvest. However, summers can be hot, with storms being more common. 

Spring

Benefits: Spring has many perks for homeowners, including a warmer temperature that makes gardening more accessible, increased sunlight hours that make cleaning less laborious, and increased color in the landscape with new plants coming up. You can also do outdoor work like planting or weeding with less difficulty due to milder temperatures. 

Weaknesses: Spring also has drawbacks such as pollen from trees and flowers, which can be bothersome to some people, especially those who have asthma and strong allergies. Also, more humid areas will likely not be as pleasant because it means bugs and mold all season long.

Summer

Benefits: As summer heat increases and air conditioners stay on daily, humidity levels go down significantly. The lower humidity level helps keep mold away from homes because it cannot grow without moisture! Sidewalks and pathways should also be more clear from debris compared to spring, so the view from the front of your home will look a lot cleaner. 

Weaknesses: One problem with curb appeal during the summer is trying to keep up with grass growth. Lawns can grow at an alarming rate over just a few weeks due to increased sun exposure, warm temperatures, and frequent watering needs for gardens. The heat also makes it challenging to get outside and get outdoor chores done, as it’s hard to stay out for too long. Not to mention the sunlight can fade your siding’s paint!

When it comes to curb appeal upkeep during any season, you need the right tools and growing materials to keep everything put together for your home!
