Spring Ahead
by Josephine Cusumano

With the warmer months just around the corner, now is the best time to get serious on any outdoor projects you might have in mind for your home. Whether it be a pool installation or necessary repairs, new decking and patios, or even an update on hardscaping, this time of year is ideal for getting in touch with contractors and experts to get things started.

That’s why Suburban Life /Philadelphia Life asked our readers and editors for their choices in the best brands and companies in the Greater Philadelphia Area marketplace for their go-to experts in everything home and garden. Their selections can be found in our inaugural 2017 Best of Home and Garden, which will help you take your latest outdoor project from dream to reality.
