The curb appeal for your home is comprised of several different features: your lawn, your siding, your windows, your driveway, and of course, your curb itself. Most people don’t think about the way their curb looks because it is so close to the street, but that could be one of the first things a new visitor sees when looking at your house. If you want to make the best impression possible, you need to fix up your curb and make it look like new.
Fix The Concrete On Your Curb
If the concrete on your curb is cracked and damaged, you should have it fixed or replaced. This does not cost a lot of money, and it can transform the look of your yard, driveway, and more. If you live in an older neighborhood where most of the curb is cracked, your home will stand out as the one that is properly taken care of. This will improve its resale value and your overall reputation in the community.

Repaint The House Number
If your house number is no longer visible on your curb, it may be time to get it repainted. This is actually something you can do on your own with spray paint and a stencil. If you want to show your love for a particular sports team or college, you can use your curb numbers as an opportunity to do that. Just note that personalizing your curb like this will not help if you plan to resell your home in the near future.
Clean Up The Grass
If you have grass overflowing onto your curb, trim it back with a weed eater. If you don’t want to do this on a regular basis, you can put stone or gravel along the edges of your yard to act as a barrier between the curb and the grass. You may still get some weeds sneaking through from time to time, but the maintenance will be greatly reduced.
Powerwash Your Concrete
Last but not least, clean up your curb, driveway, sidewalk, and other concrete elements with a power washer. High pressured water will blow away dirt and grime that makes your curb look less-than-perfect. With all of these tips in place, you should have a gorgeous new curb to come home to.
