Spring is a great time to alleviate the damage caused during the onslaught of Connecticut winters. Whether you just want to spruce up your yard, or are looking to re-haul it this spring, below are some great tips to spring clean your yard. You have worked hard to provide a roof over your head, but when was the last time you checked out your gutters? Here’s the checklist. Check the drainage. Clean out your gutters periodically (you can even install gutter covers to prevent leaves from clogging up the pathway). Make sure your downspouts are positioned far enough away from the house so you’ll be ready in the case of a surprise spring shower.
