How Do You Deal with Plants, Bushes, or Shrubs During an Exterior Painting Project?

Your landscaping is a vital part of your home’s curb appeal, just like a fresh coat of paint. Together, they create a welcoming first impression, blending natural beauty with a polished, well-maintained exterior. At Spray ’n Coat Painting, we know how important it is to protect your plants, bushes, and shrubs while delivering a high-quality exterior paint job that enhances your home’s overall curb appeal.

Here’s how we carefully manage your landscaping during an exterior painting project:

1. Trimming Back Overgrowth
Overgrown bushes, shrubs, or tree branches close to your home can interfere with the painting process and even touch wet paint, leading to smudges or an uneven finish. To avoid these issues, we recommend trimming back foliage before the project begins.



Not only does this make it easier for our team to work, but it also leaves your landscaping looking tidy and refreshed—a perfect complement to your home’s newly painted exterior. If you’re unable to handle this step beforehand, no problem! We’ll discuss the best approach to ensure your landscaping and home are fully prepared for painting.

2. Covering and Protecting Your Landscaping
Your landscaping plays a huge role in your home’s curb appeal, and we take every precaution to protect it during the painting process. Before we start, we carefully cover plants, shrubs, and flower beds with breathable drop cloths or plastic sheeting.

These coverings are securely placed to prevent paint splatter and overspray while still allowing air circulation to protect the health of your greenery. This extra step ensures that your plants remain safe and your property stays looking its best throughout the project.

3. Creating Work Space Around the Home
To help our team work efficiently and avoid damaging your landscaping, we ask that movable items—such as potted plants, garden furniture, or lawn decorations—be placed at least 8 feet away from your home’s exterior. This creates a clear work area where we can focus on delivering a flawless paint job.

If you need assistance moving heavier items, we’re more than happy to help. A well-organized workspace makes a big difference in achieving a clean, professional finish.

4. Cleaning Up After the Job
Once your home is freshly painted, we make sure everything is cleaned up thoroughly. Protective coverings are carefully removed, and any debris or materials are cleared away.

Your landscaping will be left in pristine condition, looking just as beautiful as before—or even better, thanks to the enhanced curb appeal of your freshly painted home.

5. Minimizing Impact on Your Landscape
At Spray ’n Coat Painting, we understand that your landscaping is an investment and a key element of your home’s charm. That’s why we work methodically around delicate areas, using precision techniques to minimize impact and preserve the integrity of your outdoor spaces.

Our team treats your landscaping with the same level of care and respect we bring to your home’s exterior, ensuring that both remain in excellent condition.

Painting and Landscaping: The Perfect Partnership for Curb Appeal
A beautifully painted home and well-maintained landscaping go hand in hand when it comes to boosting curb appeal. A fresh coat of paint can highlight the natural beauty of your plants and flowers, while your landscaping enhances the attention to detail in your paint job.

When these two elements work together, your home truly shines, creating a space you can take pride in every day.
