Paint your Garden Right Now
Posted on April 28, 2020
Gardens and flower beds are front of mind right now with the upcoming spring. Giving some love to the foliage around your home now. Add some fun pops of color within your garden to match the flowers or your home’s facade. Here are ideas to paint your garden right now, according to the painting experts at CertaPro Painters of Pickering/Oshawa.
Paint Protects Exterior Wood
As we move forward through the seasons, you’re sure to be dealing with rain and weather. If you have wood behind or surrounding your garden in the form of a fence or separator between the lawn and garden, take the time to apply some paint. This coating will give your garden a new vibrance but also protect the wooden elements. Paint protects against moisture intrusion, allowing your wood to last longer. Now is the perfect time to add this color and protection.
It’s Too Hot in Summer
With spring upon us, you’re surely cleaning your interior and getting your home in order for summer. That cleaning spills out onto the lawn and can inspire further updates. Exterior projects like painting in the garden and power washing the house are often left to the days of summer. Really, these items can be taken care of more comfortably in spring. The humidity and temperatures are lower, allowing you to work more efficiently and safely while giving the paint a better chance to form a film before drying out.
Freshen for Curb Appeal
Since we’re done hiding under winter weather, spring is the perfect time to apply a new coating of paint around your garden to freshen the curb appeal of your house. Neutrals and brights alike can lose their luster after a season of dirt, dust, precipitation and messes. Take the spring to clean off the remaining dirt and give the surrounding fencing or perimeter a new coating of paint.
Lighten Your Garden
Adding color to your garden can set off the work you have done to cultivate the plants. Adding a new color behind the garden creates some variance in colors between the plants and the backdrop. Adding lighter and brighter colors creates a focal point allowing your garden to have more depth and character.
Add Color for Winter
Though we don’t want to think about it yet, winter will come back and your plants will go into hibernation. When that happens, having a fun color on the wall behind where the colorful flowers were allows some of the vibrance to last through the dreary season. Even if you go for a natural color, it will survive when your plants don’t.
