Spring is officially here, which means it’s time to get your home ready for the season’s long-awaited return. With more daylight and warmer weather, you may find you have extra time (and energy!) to tackle the tasks that were put on the back burner during winter. Not to mention, now is the perfect time to refresh your lawn after snow, wind, and cold temperatures did their damage the last few months.

While the start of spring is an exciting time, it can also be overwhelming thanks to a laundry list of things to get done around the house. To help you prioritize everything you need to accomplish, Home Depot released the results of its annual spring survey, revealing the spring projects homeowners and renters across the country are most looking forward to working on this season.

Clean Windows and Screens

Over winter, your windows and screens likely built up with grime from snow and lack of cleaning due to too-cold temperatures. Now is the perfect time to give these surfaces a thorough cleaning, which you can do with a little glass cleaner and a lint-free cloth.

Mulch Yard and Garden

Mulching your yard and garden in spring has many benefits. Not only does it give your landscape a polished appearance, but it also helps retain moisture, choke out weeds, and maintain soil temperatures.

Weed Yard and Garden

Believe it or not, there are plenty of winter weeds that thrive in cold conditions, including bittercress, chickweed, deadnettle, and groundsel. Take some time to remove these weeds before sowing any seeds or planting plugs in your garden this spring.

Clean Grill

Spring is the perfect season for hosting backyard barbecues, so it’s important to ensure your grill is in working condition. A clean grill allows hot air to move around inside properly, ensuring the appliance heats up faster. According to Home Depot’s report, a clean grill is “the key to longevity, efficiency, and of course, amazing flavor.”

Maintain Your Yard

Once the threat of frost has passed and temperatures are consistently above 50 degrees Fahrenheit, you can give your lawn its first mow of the season. In many regions, this is typically around mid- to late-March. No matter where you live, avoid cutting your grass when it’s still damp, as this can damage the grass and its root system.
