Illuminate the approach to your abode with an easy-to-install path lighting kit. If porch lighting looks tired, replace fixtures with modern classics that have the wattage to enhance safety and highlight facade features.

Add Seasonal Color


Strategic plantings add interest, create new focal points in landscaping and contribute to curb appeal. Shop for species that are native to your climate zone and are drought-resistant. If deer and other creatures dwell nearby, ask your local nurseryman about plants that woodland neighbors won't devour at first bloom.

Keep the Lawn Lush


For green throughout the season, reseed your lawn's rough patches and fertilize with a timed-release formula. An irrigation system driven by a digital timer helps create a water-wise routine, and slightly reducing your turf's footprint can make maintenance easier if you're faced with drought conditions.
