Quick Late-Summer Curb Appeal Fixes Before Fall
August can be a tricky month for curb appeal. The bright blooms of early summer might be fading, the lawn might be feeling the heat, and fall is creeping closer. But with just a few simple updates, you can make your home look fresh, inviting, and ready for the last stretch of summer.
These quick and budget-friendly tips will boost your home’s curb appeal, whether you’re preparing for back-to-school season, hosting friends, or simply enjoying your front porch views.
Even in the late summer heat, a little lawn maintenance goes a long way. Mow regularly, edge the borders for a crisp look, and pull weeds before they spread. Water problem spots in the early morning or evening to help the grass recover.
Pro Tip: Add heat-loving plants like sunpatiens, marigolds, and zinnias. They’re perfect for Georgia summers and add instant pops of color.
Your front door is the focal point of your home’s exterior. Give it a quick clean, replace a faded doormat, and add a seasonal wreath for charm. These small details can make your home look cared for and inviting.
Pathway lights, porch lanterns, or solar garden stakes can instantly make your home look warmer and more welcoming. Plus, they improve safety for evening visitors.
Sweep away leaves, dust off furniture, and pack away items you’re not using. A couple of outdoor throw pillows or a potted plant can give the space a fresh, seasonal feel.
