Keep Windows Working
In honor of National Window Safety Week (April 5-11), inspect your home’s windows to ensure none are painted or nailed shut.

Changing direction each time you cut the lawn will help grass blades grow upright, not tilted in the direction you mow.
Pull Weeds After It Rains

Get the AC Ready to Work
Give the system a whirl now so that you’ll have plenty of time to schedule a service call, if needed, before the pros get booked up.
