Summer is always a season when you spend more time outdoors. It might be a good time to dive in to cleaning up your own outdoors with a yard tidy up. It might also be a good idea to have an annual revision of your California home insurance in case there are changes to values, or additions to your home, which need to be reflected.
You can increase the visual value of your home be sprucing up the yard for summer. Attend to those gardening needs that have been put off. Pruning and trimming of plants and shrubs alone can make your yard look so much neater. Now is a good time to mulch your garden to help retain moisture. Trim back garden edges. This along with mulching can give your garden beds a new lease on life. Swimming pools need to be sparkling clean and ready to swim in. Test your water and ensure proper chemical balance. You might wish to liven up any outdoor furniture with some paint.
A few days spent in your yard can make the need for maintenance from here on in a little easier. You can then sit back and enjoy your yard this summer. Those in parts of California which may be affected by bushfire should be vigilant about clearing their yards to reduce fire hazards. A check on your California home insurance policy is another check that could prove worthwhile.
