June is here, and it’s time to get your home ready for summer! From cleaning your siding to preparing your garden for hotter weather, these essential maintenance tasks will help your home look great and function smoothly all season long. Dive into our full list for tips to keep your outdoor spaces thriving this summer!

1. Inspect and Clean Siding: June’s warmer weather makes it a great time to clean your home’s siding. Use a soft-bristle brush or a pressure washer to remove dirt and algae buildup, and inspect for cracks or damage that may need repair.

2. Prepare Your Garden for Hotter Days: With warmer weather approaching, ensure your garden is ready to thrive. Add mulch to help soil retain moisture, stake tall plants to prevent wind damage, and adjust your watering schedule to accommodate the drier summer months.

3. Check and Clear Outdoor Drains: Inspect outdoor drains, such as those in driveways or near patios, to ensure they’re free of debris. Clear any clogs to prevent water pooling during summer rains, which can be frequent in parts of the PNW.

4. Inspect and Service Outdoor Furniture: Clean and inspect outdoor furniture for wear or damage from winter storage. Tighten any loose screws, touch up paint or sealant, and replace worn cushions to ensure your furniture is ready for summer use.
