When it comes to improving the curb appeal of your home, this does not just stop at the edge of your property. If the road you live on is untidy and worn down, this can have a negative effect on the appearance of your home. Taking steps to enhance the appeal of your street not only helps to create a sense of community pride with your neighbours but also creates a welcoming environment for visitors and potential new homeowners.
Potholes can not only be an eyesore on your road, but they can also pose a risk to vehicles and pedestrians. During bad weather existing potholes can become even larger and new ones could appear. It is important that you identify all the potholes on your road and contact your local council to have them repaired. If your road becomes very bad, your council may decide to completely repave your road, which could benefit your home as a freshly paved road can increase the visual appearance of the surrounding area.
Clogged or dirty drains can completely ruin the appearance of your road and if left unattended, can start to produce a bad smell. Blocked drains can also pose a risk to road users, as it will be more likely to flood during bad weather which can make your road completely unusable. If you notice blocked drains on your road you can contact your local council to get them fixed. Alternatively, if you live in the Bracknell area, you can contact a Drain Jetting Bracknell company that can come out and clean out your drains for you. An example of one of these companies is www.drainpower.co.uk/drainage-services/drain-jetting/bracknell
Another way to improve your street maintenance is by incorporating furniture and other features. You can apply to your council to have new benches, rubbish bins, and signage installed. These additions can help to make your road look more appealing and friendly to the community. If items like these become damaged, it is important to get them fixed as soon as possible to keep your road looking appealing. You can also come together as a community to create your own improvements to your street. For example, you can collaborate with artists to create a mural or other art piece on the side of a building.
