Simple Outdoor Jobs To Do This Week

Summer is in full swing.

Now that we can rely more on the weather every weekend, it is the ideal chance for us to do some of those simple outdoor jobs outside which always need to be done. If you are looking for a project this weekend or you are simply a little bored, here are some of the outdoor jobs you can do to maintain a stunning exterior.

Clean the windows.

Cleaning the outside of the windows is something which we don’t do very often, and if you don’t have a window cleaner of your own it will be one of those jobs which gets forgotten about pretty easily. Now that summer is here and we want to enjoy the light through our homes, cleaning the inside and outside of the windows can make a massive difference. 

Clear the gutters.

Make sure that you remember to clean your gutters now and again throughout the year because it is an important job. The gutters have and important role of diverting water away from your home and washing it away, and now and again the debris from trees and other matter will become lodged in the gutters and will need to be cleared. Make sure to clear the gutters and ensure that they aren’t cracked or damaged. 

Install a tank.

For the garden, it is a great idea for you to eat a water tank from Tank direct to collect rainwater and allow yourself to water the plants without the need for a hose. It will save you a lot of money on your water bill and it will also save energy so it’s a win win. 

Trim the trees.

Trimming your trees should be something you make a point to do now and again to keep them healthy and tidy. In the summer the trees will grow very quickly so it is important to trim them down a little and make them more manageable. Most trees can deal with harsh pruning but if you are unsure make sure to check on the RHS website. 

Mow the lawn.

A simple gardening job which you can do now and again to maintain a tidy garden is to mow the lawn. Mowing the lawn doesn’t take up too much time from our day and it is something which can have a larger impact on your garden than you would think. It is a great way for you to maintain a wonderful garden and a tidy exterior, as well as make the lawn healthier by allowing it to grow thick and lush. 

Wash the driveway.

The final job which can be super satisfying this weekend can be washing the driveway. It is a great idea for you to pressure wash your driveway and it will be super satisfying for you to do too! Make sure that you also take the time to remove any weeds which might be between paving slabs and this will help you to keep a tidy and clean driveway which will look amazing all year long.
