Curb Appeal | 3 Quick DIY Ideas
Landscaping
So let’s begin with the overall landscaping. The quickest DIY imaginable comes in the form of a little heavy lifting! Take an honest look at your front yard. Even better take a few pictures. Then look at them on a larger screen. This way you can be a bit more objective and begin to formulate a plan. Begin with asking some basic questions. Such as, what is overgrown? Or what plants need to be replaced? And don’t forget about the mailbox!
