Right now—in March and April—your trees are telling you exactly what needs to come off before summer storms roll in. Miss this 30-day window and you're looking at another full year of weak branches accumulating damage, and potentially thousands in emergency removal costs.
Right now—mid-March through early April—your fence is sending you a message. Those posts that shifted over winter are begging for help, and you've got maybe two weeks before the ground hardens and makes the job twice as expensive.
Most folks wait until summer to think about their patio, but by then the mold's already won. A single 3-hour pressure washing session in early spring removes winter algae and mildew before they burrow into your concrete—and saves you from a $1.2K repair bill down the road.
