Spring Forward with These Quick Curb Appeal Upgrades

As winter fades and spring takes center stage, there’s no better time to boost your home’s curb appeal. Whether you’re prepping to sell, welcoming guests, or simply want to take pride in your property, a few simple upgrades can make a big impact. At Bianchi Brickyard & Landscape Supply, we’ve got the materials and expertise to help you refresh your outdoor space just in time for the season.

Here are five fast curb appeal upgrades that can elevate your home’s exterior:

1. Freshen Up Your Mulch

Nothing says “well-kept” like a fresh layer of mulch. Whether you prefer classic pine bark, natural hardwood, or eye-catching dyed options, mulch instantly makes garden beds look tidy and vibrant—plus, it helps retain moisture and suppress weeds as the weather warms up.

Pro Tip: Choose darker mulch to make surrounding plants pop and create contrast with brick or stone borders.

2. Define Your Space with Edging

Add structure and elegance by installing stone or brick edging along walkways, garden beds, or patios. Our selection of pavers and stone edging adds a finished look that helps keep mulch and gravel in place while creating crisp, clean lines.

Quick Upgrade: Use Belgard or Keystone pavers to create a polished edge that holds up beautifully season after season.

3. Add a Pop of Color with Planters

Spring is all about color. Decorative stone planters or raised beds filled with seasonal blooms like pansies, petunias, or tulips add instant charm. Our decorative gravel and soil mixes are ideal for drainage and plant health.

Local Tip: Choose native or low-maintenance plants that thrive in the coastal Carolina climate.

4. Refresh Gravel Driveways & Pathways

If your driveway or garden path is looking worn, a fresh top layer of decorative gravel or crusher run can do wonders. Not only does it improve appearance, but it also enhances drainage and surface durability.

Need Help Choosing? Our team can help match the right material to your home’s style and function.

5. Update Your Hardscapes

Small tweaks to existing patios or outdoor living spaces—like repairing loose stones, replacing worn-out pavers, or extending a sitting wall—can modernize your home’s look. With a wide range of stone and hardscape supplies, we make it easy to tackle those small but satisfying upgrades.
