Home exterior care extends throughout the year

Many people think that outdoor home maintenance is something that only needs to be done before the summer months. However, this maintenance can't be done just a few days a year; it needs to be ongoing. The specific maintenance will depend on the plants you have in your garden or on your patio. If you want to learn all about it, don't miss the latest from Deco and Lemon. We'll give you the key tips!

The exteriors of your home are a luxury, take advantage of them!

If you're lucky enough to have outdoor space at home , you should know it's a real luxury. Most houses and apartments in big cities don't have these kinds of spaces. And if they do, they're usually tiny. So, since you're so fortunate, make sure to keep them in good condition all year round. Plus, proper maintenance won't require much effort!

On the other hand, it's also true that most people don't know how to properly perform this treatment. For this reason, at Deco and Lemon we want to bring you the basic tips for caring for your garden or terrace.

Autumn outdoor care

Autumn is the perfect time to prepare your garden for the colder months. We recommend pruning trees and shrubs, as well as providing additional nutrients to your plants.

Home exterior care should also include cleaning the garden of leaves. To do this, use a rake and water less frequently.

How to maintain outdoor spaces in winter

During the winter season, the most important thing is to protect our crops from frost . To do this, it is essential to use tarpaulins and greenhouses to ensure that the most vulnerable vegetation is not affected.

If you have a lawn, don't cut it too short. This will give it more protection. As for your urban garden , it's best to leave the seeds sown or choose species that can survive the drop in temperatures.

Garden maintenance in spring

Once the warmer weather arrives, it's time for blooming and planting . If you've maintained your garden properly in the preceding months, simply clean up any remaining plants and flowers that have withered.

It's also the perfect time to fertilize and prune branches so your trees and shrubs grow stronger and healthier. And, of course, check for pests and increase watering in the early morning or late afternoon.

Summer outdoor care

Finally, when we are fully into the summer season, the care of the exterior of the house is mainly reduced to increased watering to maintain humidity and fertilizing the crops correctly to prevent them from drying out.
