Winter Curb Appeal Tips | Raleigh Garage Door Repair

Outdoor Lighting
The best way to make a serious statement with curb appeal is with outdoor lighting. Especially in winter, outdoor lighting will brighten even the darkest of lawns by creating a nice illuminated interest. For an Eco-friendly option, add solar powered light fixtures along your walkways and garage. In addition to adding curb appeal, these lights will also provide security and safety!
Seasonal Garden
Just because winter has set it doesn’t mean that you can’t have fresh veggies all year long! While you do have to plant according to season, you can have a nice container garden or other small planter garden all year long! This is a great way to add color to any home exterior. It’s also an easy, affordable way to create your own landscaping element.
Window Boxes
There’s no better way to add curb appeal to the exterior of your home than with window boxes! Add boxes to each window facing the street for an added depth and extra color all year long! You can even add them to the windows in your garage! For even more interest, consider choosing boxes in a trendy metal like copper or iron. You can even use reclaimed wood for a more rustic look!
Planter Renewal
When fall ends, our planter beds tend to lose their luster and wilt away with colder weather. It’s important to get rid of growing weeds and dead, wilted plants before spring hits. Winter is a great time to prune old growth, add new mulch and redo or add a brick, stone or other type of border around your planter beds.
Getting a head start on all these things, this winter, while the weather is a bit mild and easy to work in is a great way to enhance the exterior of your home and garage! For more tips on easy DIY curb appeal, visit back with us soon! Our Raleigh garage door repair experts are here to help!
