Springtime brings weed growth on walkways and pollen piled up on your patio, which can make a community look unkempt. If you’re a part of a homeowner’s association, your regulations probably require you to keep a neat appearance, which can involve trimming back shrubs and sweeping sidewalks. Here are some springtime cleaning tips for communities looking to keep their properties looking fresh and pristine.

How Homeowner’s Associations Should Clean Up During Spring

1. Maintain Your Lawn

A well-kept yard increases the curb appeal of any building, so keep your grass mowed, edged, and weeded. Spring is the prime growing season for palm trees, elephant ears, and other decorative plants, so trim them back if they start to overhang to prevent hazards.

2. Remove Yard Debris

During the spring, homeowners can wake up to leaves and old, dead palm fronds scattered across their yard. Be sure your yard is cleared of any debris weekly, which is sure to please homeowners and give your building a good reputation.

3. Consider Exterior Washing

During the winter, mold and other grime can accumulate on the siding of homes and buildings, so inspect your structures for any sign of dirt or damage. If your siding has stains or looks dull, make it look brand new with a pressure wash.

4. Pick Up Litter

Kids playing outside often leave behind toys or garbage, which can scatter around with strong winds. Be considerate of your neighbors and collect any forgotten items or trash several times a week.
