Spring is one of the best times of year to tackle home improvement projects. As the weather warms up in Austin, TX, homeowners begin spending more time outdoors, making it the perfect opportunity to refresh patios, repair fences, and get your yard ready for summer entertaining.
Taking care of seasonal maintenance early can help prevent costly repairs later and make your outdoor spaces more enjoyable in the months ahead. Whether you plan to handle a few DIY projects yourself or prefer to hire a professional handyman, these spring tasks can help keep your property looking its best.
Here are 10 handyman jobs to consider this spring to prepare your home and outdoor spaces for the beautiful Austin weather.
1
With spring and summer just around the corner, you’ll want to make the most out of your outdoor living space. Compared to having a lawned garden, a patio area will require little maintenance and can add purpose to a garden with minimal effort.
2
Being subject to the elements year-round, pergolas will need some regular maintenance to keep them looking good and structurally sound. A general hose down or pressure wash may be all that’s required to remove dirt and cobwebs, but timber structures may need to be checked for structural integrity.

If you need your fence replaced or repaired, don’t forget to contact our handyman team. From painting and touch-ups to replacing fence panels, our team can take care of the job for you.
4
If you have decking, pergola or patio tiles in your garden, high-pressure washing them is a good way to remove any accumulated winter dirt and grime. High-pressure cleaning is a great way of making your garden area look new and revitalized.
Always use an expert when using pressure-washing equipment. YardDoc has the experience for an expert pressure washing project.
5
Clean and declutter along the fence line to give yourself more space to work with. Check any fences, decking, pergolas, or gates you may have for wear and tear. If you see any damage or have broken support beams or decking boards, we can help you fix or replace them.
6
Don’t put off doing any painting. Our team has plenty of painting experience and comes with an 100% Workmanship Guarantee. From wall preparation, touch-ups, to a new repaint of the walls, and a cleanup afterwards. Don’t sacrifice on quality.
7
Consider having your fence, deck, or pergola re-stained. It is a quick and easy way to refresh your garden area. As these structures are subject to the elements all year round, it’s important to maintain them so they are safe for years to come. Our team can help re-stain/re-oil and seal them for you.

We highly recommend you take regular care and attention to your gutters and roofing and have them regularly cleaned and checked by a professional. We will check your gutters and downpipes and clean them by hand or by using high-pressure washing. We can also help by installing gutter guards as well as replacing gutters or downpipes.

If you love cooking, and you have the room for it, why not dress up your outdoor space to include an outdoor kitchen and dining area? With it, you’ll have everything you need to enjoy the warmer weather and comfort of the home. It also provides additional space to entertain the family.
Some outdoor kitchens come complete and ready to install. The deciding factor is usually budget, work out your budget and get an estimate from us on how much the installation will cost. Remember to add in the cost for the utilities you’ll want for your kitchen area.
Kitchen areas are best placed under shelter to protect them from the outdoor elements.

A must-have accessory for the Texas evenings. No matter how big or small your outdoor area is, make it complete with one.
A fire pit will ensure you get to enjoy the outdoors all year round. There are plenty of options available to purchase or, alternatively, have one specially built by our team.
Always ensure your fire pit is placed in a safe location away from the house and clear of anything overhanging and away from combustible materials.
