Get Your Home Reno-Ready: 5 Outdoor Projects for Spring

Spring is the perfect time to refresh your outdoor space. Whether you're upgrading your deck or clearing out an old shed, these home renovation projects will help you make the most of the season. Planning ahead—especially for cleanup—makes the whole process smoother and more enjoyable.

Here are 5 outdoor projects to consider this spring, along with smart disposal tips to keep your renovation hassle-free. 

1. Build or Replace a Deck for Summer Entertaining 

A deck is one of the best upgrades for outdoor living. Whether you're starting from scratch or refinishing an old favorite, a well-designed deck creates the perfect space for BBQs, lounging, and summer get-togethers. 

Deck Renovation Ideas: 

• New Build – Consider composite decking for durability and easy maintenance. 

• Refresh & Repair – Sand, stain, and seal existing wood to give it new life. 

• Upgrade Features – Add built-in seating, lighting, or a pergola for comfort and style. 

Expect the Mess: Old wood, nails, railings, and support beams.  

Pro Tip: Renting a bin makes cleanup quicker and safer—especially when tearing down an old structure.

2. Upgrade Your Fence for Privacy & Style 

A new fence boosts curb appeal, improves security, and gives you peace of mind. 

Fence Material Ideas: 

• Wood – Timeless and natural, but requires maintenance. 

• Vinyl or Composite – Sleek, low-maintenance options that last. 

• Metal or Aluminum – Great for added strength and security. 

Cleanup to Consider: Old panels, concrete footings, nails, and broken hardware.  

Helpful Hint: Save time and trips to the dump by booking a disposal bin in advance.

3. Install a New Patio or Walkway 

A well-designed patio or walkway adds value and usability to your home’s exterior. Whether you're laying new pavers, concrete, or stone, this project improves both style and function. 

Patio & Walkway Ideas: 

• Stamped Concrete – Durable and customizable with different patterns. 

• Pavers or Brick – A classic look that allows for drainage and flexibility. 

• Wooden Platform Patios – A great alternative if you prefer a deck-like structure. 

What You'll Remove: Old bricks, concrete, gravel, and leveling materials.  

Pro Tip: Demolishing an old patio? A bin rental keeps the mess contained.

4. Remove or Replace an Old Shed 

Is your shed falling apart or taking up valuable space? Spring is a great time to tear it down or give it a makeover. 

Shed Renovation Options: 

• Refurbish – Repaint, replace damaged siding, or upgrade the roof. 

• Replace – Install a new, more functional storage shed. 

• Remove – Clear space for a new project or garden feature. 

Debris to Expect: Wood panels, roofing shingles, old shelving, and metal siding.  

Pro Tip: Shed removal creates bulky waste—a disposal bin makes it easier to manage.

5. Tear Down an Unused or Unsafe Structure 

Old gazebos, pergolas, carports, or detached garages can become unstable over time. Spring is the ideal time to tackle small-scale demolition projects before summer upgrades begin. 

Common Demo Debris: Wood, metal beams, roofing shingles, and broken glass.  

Pro Tip: Even small demolitions generate more waste than expected. A bin rental helps you keep things safe and organized on-site.
