Early Summer Preparation


 

Pool with donut-themed float on the water

Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start of summer. From opening the pool to ensuring your patio furniture has survived the change of seasons, now is the time to verify that your outdoor furnishings are ready for the months of sun ahead. Taking a moment to check your equipment today ensures your home is fully prepared for hosting and relaxing all summer long.

Swim with No Worries

Once your pool is open for the season, it is not a “set it and forget it” task. Maintaining a clean and safe pool requires consistent care to keep the water clear all summer long.

  • Inspect your tools: Take a moment to check your chlorine dispensers and skimmer baskets for cracks or sun damage. These plastic components can become brittle over the winter, so replacing them now ensures your filtration system works efficiently.
  • Stock up on essentials: It’s always a good idea to have a full supply of testing strips and chlorine tablets. Checking your levels frequently prevents small issues from turning into a green pool.
  • Filter maintenance: Don’t forget to check your pool filter. Whether you need a fresh cartridge or pool sand, starting the season with a clean filter is the best way to keep your water sparkling.

Take Control of Your Lawn

Mowing is usually the first thing on everyone’s mind, but have you taken control of the weeds and pests occupying the space around your home? We have the products you need to keep your grass looking healthy and your family comfortable.

  • Weed preventer: apply weed control that is safe for your lawn in spots where you see active growth.
  • Mulch restock: Applying new mulch yearly helps suppress weed growth in your flower beds and garden paths.
  • Mosquito defense: You have options when it comes to handling mosquitos at home. Placing a portable mosquito coil on your deck can deter pests nearby, while repellent sprays can keep mosquitoes away from your lawn and larger living areas.
  • Tick control: If ticks are a concern in your yard, consider applying a specialized yard spray. This creates a safer environment for your family, pets, and guests while they play in the grass.
