Take the time to walk around your property wearing good thick gloves, and carrying a garbage bag. Pick up every bit of refuse, yard waste, and other unsightly things, and throw them away. When the garbage is gone, then do another lap and remove all of the clutter outside. This can include things such as:

• Kids’ toys
• Yard care tools (wheelbarrows, lawn mowers, weeding tools, garden hoses, etc.)
• Tools
• Bicycles

Depending on how you usually keep your property, this one effort can make a staggering difference to the outer appearance of your home.
