Well it looks like what little bit of summer we had is over, the wind and rain has arrived. The leaves are starting to fall from trees and clutter your garden up. Everything looks unsightly.
Driveways, Paths & Patios are looking dirty and slippy, Guttering is becoming blocked with leaves, Windows are looking grim.
Many people think ' well I will leave it over winter and get things cleaned up in the spring ready for summer' - this is wrong! NOW is the time when you should be getting your gutters cleaned out so the rainwater can flow away properly, get the driveway cleaned and remove all the dirt and moss so IT DOES NOT BECOME SLIPPY WHEN WET. You need to prepare your outside surfaces now for the winter to minimise the effects that winter will have on them. Sure they will need another clean in spring to brighten everything up, but if you keep on top of them and remove the dirt you cant see that accumalates over summer then your driveway, paths, patios etc will not get as dirty in winter, algae will not form as much and the driveway will not look as dirty and more importantly it will not become as slippy with the constant soaking it will receive.
Your house is the most expensive assett you will purchase and yet many people neglect it over winter, look how dirty your car gets over winter and you dont just leave it and say 'i will clean it again in summer' do you? No, you clean it on a regular basis, so why leave your biggest investment to succumbe to the perils of winter?
