Use garden-tour season as a curb appeal check

Neighborhood garden tours are useful even if you are not entering a yard. They show what looks good in established Detroit neighborhoods: clean bed lines, healthy perennials, trimmed edges, weed-free walkways, and simple color that fits the house.

Quick improvements before a block event

• Edge sidewalks, driveways, and front beds.
• Pull tall weeds from fence lines and porch edges.
• Deadhead tired flowers and remove broken stems.
• Shape shrubs around windows and walkways.
• Add mulch only where beds are clean enough to benefit from it.
