The winter season is almost over, and spring is nearly here. With a new season around the corner, you should give your rental property a new look as well. After all, this is one of the ways you can retain your tenants and make sure they provide you with timely rents. Moreover, doing so is going to attract new residents as well.  Here are some tips to help you start your spring off right.


Apply fertilizers

Do you like gardens where there are weeds? We do not, and neither do others. So how do you control them? By ensuring that they do not appear. Weeds are usually seen sprouting up in the month of February when the climate turns warmer. Avoid treating them and they will quickly spoil your landscape. We recommend that you apply a pre-emergent and a post-emergent as well so that no weeds spoil your exterior.

Along with this, treat your landscape with fertilizers. This should give it enough nutrients to turn into a beautiful landscape.

Keep worms at bay

If there are possums and armadillos attacking your landscape, it is a sure shot sign that your grass is foiled with cutworms and grub worms. Avoid treatment, and your lawn is going to become a real mess.

Prune tress

Prune your trees right now because they will not be suffering from any sort of fungal diseases. This will help them grow in a cleaner and faster manner. Make sure you also prune those branches that look dead or about to sag.

Remove winter signs

Winter is nearly over, and it is time you remove the signs from your garden as well. Inspect your garden and you will come across damaged grasses, shrubs and plants. Give them a trim or remove them, whichever seems more appropriate.
 
Deal with overgrown plants

There may be some plants in your garden that have grown over your windows and walkways. Remove all of these so that your landscape does not have a shabby appearance. In some cases, it might give you a bare look, but that is just for right now. Come spring, it will blossom well.

Install new plants

Why not add some new colors and smells to your exterior? Plant some new plants and your landscape will have a different look.
 
Practice the above, and we are sure you will have a very bright and profitable season.
