Spring is planting time and we have a wonderful selection of: • Cedar Hedging • Maple Trees • Ornamental Shrubs • Windbreak Trees • Topsoil • Crushed 1B/rick • Wood Mulch • Peat Moss (MS) — With the warm weather hereb it's time to start thinking about your outdoor living spaces. Are your wooden deck and front porch ready for fun in the sun? It's easy to update both in just a few easy steps and give yourself a whole new look for the season. Here are some ideas to get you started: • Start with a clean slate. If the nasty winter weather has left your deck looking less-than-presentable, never fear: cleaning your wooden deck is as easy as one, two, three. Scrub with soap and water, let dry and enjoy! • Need a facelift? Change the whole look of your wooden deck with a new stain. Available in a wide range of colours, wood stains .are easy to apply and add a whole new depth and dimension to any of your outdoor living spaces. • Update your furniture. To change the look of your deck or front porch, consider an easy, do-it-yourself project. A nice Adirondack chair would fill a corner and allow more guest seating, while a planter box brings fresh greenery to corners. Check out www.spanpine.com for a wide range of outdoor project ideas. • Dress up your furniture. After you drag those weatherproof seat pads out of storage, add a bright throw pillow to a chair or a new vinyl tablecloth to your table for a fresh new burst of colour. • Let it grow, let it grow, let it grow. Nothing personalizes your deck or front porch like fresh green plants and colourful flowers. Yellow flowers help welcome the Spring, while red blooms co-ordinate nicely with your Canada Day decor. Consider rotating your flowers back and forth between the front porch and deck for an ever-changing look. • Decorate! After your furniture and flowers are in place, purchase a few inexpensive "yard art" items to customize your look. Stained glass flowers, tin sunbursts and old- fashioned wall signs add tremendous character and make your deck a homey, fun place to hang out. • Grill it, baby. Cooking outdoors isn't only healthy, it creates a great social environment. All kinds of grills and outdoor fireplaces are available these days; find the one that best fits your decorating — and cooking! — style, and go for it. • Add space. If your deck or front porch has become a little cramped with furniture, plants, children's outdoor toys and dog bones, add a small storage box to help control the clutter. It's also a good place to store items during the winter. • Rock and swing. A porch isn't a porch without a rocking chair or a swing. They're easy to install and if you choose wood to match your deck, they're a seamless accent to your decor. • If you don't have a deck ... build one! But choose your building material wisely: if you want the look of wood, use real wood. As you update your deck or front porch for spring, use your creativity when choosing decor, furniture and flowers.
