Spring is finally here, and that means it’s time to shake off the winter blues and get back outside. The days are getting longer, the sun is feeling warmer, and your deck is probably looking like it just woke up from a long nap. If your outdoor space has been buried under snow, covered in leaves, or just plain neglected, now’s the perfect time to bring it back to life.
Start with a good cleaning. Your deck has been through a lot—rain, snow, wind, and who knows what else. Give it a good sweep to clear out the debris, then grab the hose or a power washer to blast away the dirt. If you spot any green or black spots, that’s nature’s way of saying, “Hey, I’ve been growing here all winter!” A little scrubbing with a deck cleaner should take care of it.
Once your deck is clean, take a good look at it. Check for wobbly railings, loose boards, or nails that have started poking up like they’re trying to escape. A little tightening and replacing now can save you from a stubbed toe or worse later on. If your deck is looking a little faded, a fresh coat of stain or sealant will bring it back to life and help protect it from the unpredictable Michigan weather.
Now comes the fun part—making your deck the place to be this spring. Think comfy furniture, string lights, and maybe even a new rug to add some color. A couple of potted plants can make the space feel fresh, and if you really want to up your game, throw in a fire pit for those chilly spring nights. Imagine sipping your favorite drink under the stars, wrapped in a cozy blanket. Not bad, right?
If your deck has seen better days or you’re dreaming of an upgrade, now is the time to plan. Spring is the best season to get a new deck built because the weather is just right for construction, and you’ll have it ready to enjoy all summer long. Nobody wants to be dealing with a big deck project when they should be grilling and relaxing.
