4 Home Projects for June

Summer is finally here! It’s a great time to spend more time outdoors, whether in a garden or on a back patio hanging with friends and family. June is centered around preparing your space for this time. Check out our top 4 home projects for June!

1) Trim bushes and shrubs

From large bushes to small shrubs, now is the time to make sure all of your landscaping is in perfect shape! Remove the thickest branches first and cut them back to the base to promote new growth. Use hand pruners and shears to trim some smaller plants. For larger projects, or if you want to ensure an even cut across all of your bushes, a hedge trimmer is the best choice. Our Madison store offers gas- and battery-powered STIHL hedge trimmers, edgers, and other products you need for your yard!

2) Accent Paint

Accent paint can be a quick way to freshen up your home for a low cost. Brighten up unexpected spaces like the inside of your kitchen cabinets, stair risers, or dresser drawer interiors, or restore a piece of furniture! You can also add accents outside with Aura Exterior and Arborcoat paints and stains. Add a new look to your front door, create a focal point for your front door using our Cardinal Kits, and more!

3) Refresh outdoor furniture and your patio

Prepare your outdoor space for summer-long barbecues! Our Crozet store has gas and charcoal grills and propane, while our Madison location has a gas grill, accessories, and propane! It is a great time to power wash and clean decks, walkways and outdoor furniture. Make your patio sparkle with a new power washer or cleaner. We also offer various items such as lamp oil and insect repellant to make those nights last longer!

4) Prepare for hurricane season

June 1 marks the start of hurricane season. You can prepare many ways to create an emergency kit with flashlights, batteries, cleaning supplies, phone chargers and generators. Learn more about protecting your family at hurricanes.gov/prepare or stop by to get your essentials.
