Your Spring Head Start
Chilly SCV weather is short lived. We'll all be spending a lot more time outside
soon enough, which is why now is a great time to get the yard ready!

Help your Rose Garden Blossom
Understanding the intricacies of planting bare-root roses takes extra care. These dormant plants, shipped without soil around their roots, require meticulous care for robust growth and vibrant blooms.
Here are a few tips from the experts at Green Thumb Nursery.
• Soak roots in water for two to 12 hours, pruning damaged parts for optimal health.
• Dig a wide hole enriched with compost, positioning the plant with consideration for climate conditions.
• Settle soil while watering in intervals to ensure proper rooting.
• Trim new roses by one-third to promote root growth; delay pruning for container-grown plants.
• Find a sunlit, permanent, tree-free location for optimal growth.
• Potted plants in growth mode can be planted from spring to early fall for convenience.

What would You Do with a Painter for a Day?
If you had eight hours of professional painting services, what would you accomplish? Maybe you'd (Finally.) get those baseboards and moldings touched up - or you'd tackle the nursery before the baby arrives. Perhaps you'd upgrade your home office so it felt more "professional," or you'd paint a statement wall to house those gallery family photo designs you've been pinning on Pinterest for the last half decade. You could refresh your bathroom, make your bedroom feel like a sanctuary or help the playroom pop.
And - it's so convenient! You don't need an estimate first. Your pro painter will be scheduled right away after a quick online review. So easy!
However you choose to use the affordable ALLBRiGHT 1-800-PAINTING Painter-for-a-Day service, you can count on working with a highly-trained, efficient, expert painter who will effortlessly check your interior winter projects off your list.

The 5 Home Improvements You Need on your List for '24
1. Dryer Vent Cleaning
Improve the efficiency of your dryer, reduce the likelihood of a house fire and help a pricey appliance last longer? Sign us up!
2. Gutter Cleaning
If we learned anything from last year's torrential spring downpours, it's that well-functioning gutters are essential to help prevent damage to roofs and foundations. A properly-functioning gutter system also reduces the chance of water damage to the inside of the home (Ask us how we know.).
3. Gate & Fence Repair
At the least, a broken gate is frustrating. At the most, it can be a safety hazard and leave your home more vulnerable to break ins. Make this repair a priority.
4. Toilet Repair & Replacement
If your toilet runs, requires multiple flushes or has you removing the lid to "jiggle" the apparatus inside, it's time to put a stop to all that water and time loss with a repair or replacement.
5. Ceiling Fan Installation
That light fixture isn't improving your home's heating and cooling - but replace it with a lighted ceiling fan and... voila! You're warmer in the winter, cooler in the summer - and saving on electric bills year round.
