KDVR Fox 31 Denver chooses Mail Manager as their EXPERT approved curbside Mail Box!
In her article “Already thinking about your spring lawn and garden projects? Be prepared with these items” Jennifer Manfrin BestReviews Staff for KDVR Fox 31 Denver spoke to home improvement and DIY expert Beth Allen who had this to say about lawn and garden projects you can start now!
“Spring isn’t here yet, but it’s just around the corner. Do the long, dreary days of winter make you eager to get outdoors and work in your yard? While it’s still too early to start tackling some tasks, now is the perfect time to plan and accomplish various lawn and garden projects. After a long winter, there are many outdoor jobs to accomplish to get your lawn and garden ready for spring and beyond. Allen recommends a few special projects that you can begin now to add aesthetic appeal and enjoyment to your outdoor living space, like replacing your mailbox.
Assess any issues with the one you currently own when deciding if it’s time for a new one. “A lot of people lack curb appeal when it comes to their mailbox and it’s the first thing people see when they pull up and park,” DIY expert Beth Allen said.
