Within 7 seconds, we typically know if we like something or not, at least when it comes to first impressions. When it comes to your community, these first impressions mean a whole lot, and your curb appeal will have a lot to do with the sort of first impressions your residences give off. With spring coming right around the corner, we wanted to outline a few simple and inexpensive ideas you can use to really spruce up your community for the new season. 

First and foremost, spring is all about rebirth, and one sort of rebirth in particular – plants. New trees, flowers, flowerpots, hedges, and anything that can put a bit of color back into the landscape is incredibly impactful during the spring, and something you should certainly be using in your seasonal community curb appeal. The flowers can be simple, the mulch or flowerpots plain, and you really don’t have to spend too much, as all you need to worry about is having a few pops of color! 

You don’t want to have beautiful flowers resting on a backdrop of dead lawn and brown grass, so putting down some grass seed and taking care of landscapes during the spring can also do wonders for your curb appeal. The simple acts of picking up leaves and sticks fallen during the winter, seeding bare patches of lawn, and trimming back the hedges can really set up a gorgeous snapshot of what life in your community is like to prospects! 

Lastly, you’ll really want to refresh your exteriors, and this could take some paint or power washing. During the winter, exterior surfaces can really take a hit, particularly if your community is in a snowy area, and this can leave things looking dingy or dull come springtime. A quick refresh of paint on doors and exteriors, or a simple power wash, can really freshen things up without being too time or resource consuming. 

Spring is synonymous with renewal, and this is the perfect time of year to renew your curb appeal as well. At Occupancy Solutions, we want you to market and attract others to your community in the right way, and there are few better ways than using the natural laws of attraction!
