Essential Spring Jobs to Get Ready for Warmer Weather

If you are lucky enough to have a garden, you know there are many essential spring jobs you must do each year. But here are some of the most pressing you can begin right now to get ready for warmer weather.

Clean Your Pool and Hot Tub

Pools and hot tubs are a fantastic addition to any garden. They are so popular that in the USA alone, there are 10.4 million residential swimming pools and 7.3 million hot tubs. That’s a heck of a lot of hot tub maintenance jobs. Fortunately, you (hopefully) only need to clean one. You can get your hot tub and pool spring ready to enjoy them as soon as the weather allows. You don’t want to be the one sweating all over the place while the kids are waiting!

Maintain Your Security Systems

CCTV and alarms are as useful in the spring and summer as they are in the winter. There are no gifts to steal, of course. But when spring and summer come, you spend less time at home because you want to go outside and enjoy the warmer weather. Because of this, your house is a prime target. Even more so if you are on vacation outside of the country, get a security expert to install CCTV and safeguard your home for peace of mind while you’re out.

Essential Spring Jobs Includes Drainage

Storms in the winter are bad. But what’s even worse? Storms in spring. Spring is when the weather starts to get warmer. And when cold air and hot air meet. Well, that’s when all kinds of strange and bad weather happen. So, protect your home from bad weather to avoid drainage problems that can do more damage to your home than the storm itself. Do this before and after a storm, when it is safe. And while you’re up there, check the roof for damage.

Set Up Rainwater Collection

You might think it’s early to consider water for your lawn and plants. But some springs and especially summers can be hard to predict. One year, it might rain and wash away your seeds before they grow. In another year, they might grow well until it stops raining and the sun is out every day. Neither situation is ideal, but you’ll have to change if you want a small harvest. So, it will help a lot to have some rainwater on hand during a dry season.

Give the Garden a Clean

If you haven’t cleaned up your garden yet this spring, you should do it soon before it gets too hot. Start by going around your hedgerows and pulling out any weeds you see. Also, pay attention to the paths in your garden. You don’t want people to trip over anything, rain or shine at your first barbecue of the year. And don’t forget that spring cleaning includes the greenhouse. Go in there and wipe down your plant pots, ready for the season ahead.

You can get a jump on some of the essential spring jobs to lighten the load. These include cleaning your hot tub and pool, cleaning your drainage, and tidying up the back garden.
