Use the walk-in closets, cabinets, and drawers to organize your clothes, shoes, and other things. The organization in your home should make your apartment living simple and classy by creating enough extra space.

Decluttering Your Home

Planning is crucial for creating more space in your home by removing junk items. The process starts when you can separate things that have less value to you from those that matter. Fung Shui gives several tips to help declutter a home by removing unnecessary items you rarely use.

You can clear flat surfaces such as plank floors, kitchen islands, and countertops to declutter your rooms for more space. Having built-in furniture and appliances also helps create space in your home for that classy and simple look. Decluttering should be a regular process to maintain tidiness.

Embrace Tidy Living through Organization

Spring Gardening Tips and Tricks You Must Know

Beautiful,Spring,Flowers

Spring 2024 is finally here, and the winter snow and slush have thawed, giving way to grass and more ground cover. This means it’s time to prepare your spring home garden and revitalize your lawns and gardens. At EVO, we encourage our residents to keep their surroundings clean and welcoming. You can keep houseplants, customize the backyard, or tweak the interior décor. Our team will take care of the outdoor gardening for you, and here are some of the best home gardening spring apartment trends we keep in mind:

Garden Must Do’s

If you have a home garden, spring is the perfect time to prepare for the late blooms that will characterize your space. There are many things to do, from cleaning weeds, dead leaves, and fallen branches to clearing the bird feeders, pruning shrubs and trees, and starting a compost pile. You should also replenish your soil with organic fertilizer, plant flowers and vegetables, fill gaps/patches, and tend your lawn. Prepare your garden tools and lawn mower, and get to work. One of the advantages of apartment living is that you don’t have to get your hands dirty with gardening work. We’ll take care of everything. Simply restock your houseplants with colorful spring varieties, and you’ll be good.

Spring Garden & Care

Preparing and maintaining a spring garden should be easy once you know what to do. Start by inspecting every level (top, middle, and lower) of your land. This includes checking the trees and shrubs and paying attention to limbs and high-risk trees with cracked branches, pests, and diseases. Remove last year’s foliage and add it to your compost pile. Don’t forget the hardscape areas like fences, pathways, and steps, which may have been impacted by freezing and thawing. Prepare new beds, plant from bare roots, fertilize your garden, and add mulch. Fortunately, our apartment living gardening team will handle all these aspects at EVO. You can also consider spring container garden ideas to spruce up your lawn.
