Deck Maintenance Tips for Fall
A well-maintained deck is safer, more durable, and ready for entertaining any time of year. Here’s what you should do:
- Clean thoroughly: Remove leaves, dirt, and debris that can trap moisture and cause rot.
- Inspect for damage: Check for loose boards, nails, or signs of water damage.
- Seal or stain: Protect your deck from moisture and cold with a fresh sealant or stain.
- Trim surrounding vegetation: Keep plants away from your deck to prevent mold and pests.
Professional deck maintenance ensures your outdoor space is safe, durable, and beautiful.
Fence Maintenance Tips for Fall
Your fence protects your yard and enhances your home’s appearance. Proper maintenance now prevents winter damage:
- Check for loose posts or boards and repair them promptly
- Clean and paint/stain to protect wood fences from moisture and rot
- Trim overgrown plants around fences to reduce wear and prevent pests
A little care now saves you time and money in the long run, keeping your fence strong and attractive.
