It is essential to keep your plants, shrubs, flowers and other vegetation protected when painting the exterior of your home in order to preserve the beauty of your landscape. This is because paint may produce toxic chemicals that can harm or kill your greenery. Austin Pro Siding, Windows & Roofing, one of the leading siding and window replacement contractors in the local area, shares tips on how to keep your plants safe from paint spills and debris.

  • Identify your work area. Take some time to assess the scope of your task with a professional painter. What walls will you be painting? Are there plants or shrubs nearby? Preparation is crucial, so make sure to communicate your expectations and concerns with your painter before the job begins.
  • Move your pots and planters. If there is green life near your work area, it will be best to move them to a location where they can be safe from spillage. With a clear and clutter-free path to your exterior walls, the painter does not have to worry about getting paint on your plants or other outdoor furniture such as racks and benches.
  • Cover your plants up. For better protection, cover up your shrubs, flowers and other plants. Window installers usually use drop cloths or thick tarps on grass or soil to avoid damaging the landscape during installation. This can also come in handy when painting your exterior. When it comes to plants and trees, it is better to use plastic sheets.
  • Check your lawn. If you have time, do a little gardening before proceeding with the painting chore. Sweep up dead leaves collecting on the ground, pluck away yellowing or dead leaves, and trim branches that may be blocking your lawn. Accomplishing this adds a level of safety and ease when painters are working on your home improvement project.
