A Simple Exterior Property Maintenance Checklist for Melbourne Homeowners

A little exterior upkeep through the year keeps your home comfortable to live in and pleasant to arrive home to. This checklist stays at ground level — no roof or gutter work.

Windows and glass

  • Schedule exterior window cleaning at least once or twice a year, or more if you are near busy roads or construction dust.
  • Wipe interior glass and tracks when you notice buildup — or add interior cleans to your quote.
  • Check flyscreens seasonally; clean or quote removal/wash when airflow drops.

Driveways and paths

  • Sweep leaves regularly to reduce stains on concrete.
  • Plan pressure washing when surfaces look dull or slippery from grime — not for roof or high areas.

Lawn and garden

  • Keep mowing on a rhythm that suits grass growth — spring often needs shorter intervals.
  • Edge paths and nature strips for a tidy finish.
  • Light weeding and blow-downs after storms help presentation between larger tidy-ups.
