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.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9091 size-pagefullwidth-crop\" src=\"https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1612\/2018\/05\/j_ext_service_4-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"753\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1612\/2018\/05\/j_ext_service_4-1-753x500.jpg 753w, https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1612\/2018\/05\/j_ext_service_4-1-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 753px) 100vw, 753px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>It\u2019s Too Hot in Summer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With spring upon us, you\u2019re 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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Freshen for Curb Appeal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Since we\u2019re 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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lighten Your Garden<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Add Color for Winter<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Though we don\u2019t 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\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Schedule an Estimate<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our crews are ready to help with your exterior painting projects. We can help you update your home\u2019s exterior, refresh decks and porches and add a new coating to fences.
