Living in Lawrence, Michigan means experiencing all four seasons in their full glory—from snowy winters to sunny summers. While that variety is beautiful, it also brings a challenge many homeowners face: seasonal clutter.
From bulky winter gear to patio furniture, each season demands a different set of items—and when you're not using them, they just take up valuable space at home.
The solution? Smart seasonal planning with help from Blackwood Self Storage, your trusted Lawrence storage provider.
🌸 Spring: Clear the Clutter
Spring is a time for renewal—and spring cleaning! It’s also the perfect opportunity to reorganize and rotate your stored items.
Store These Items:
-
Snowblowers and snow shovels
-
Heavy winter clothing and boots
-
Holiday decorations (Christmas, New Year)
-
Winter sports gear (sleds, skis, snowboards)
Tips:
-
Use clear, labeled bins to keep similar items together
-
Clean and dry gear before storing to prevent mold or odors
-
Store heavier items on the bottom of stacks to avoid damage
☀️ Summer: Free Up Outdoor Space
Summer means more time outdoors—but it also means your garage and closets might get crowded with gear and seasonal décor.
Store These Items:
-
Spring jackets and rain gear
-
Extra indoor furniture (if you’ve replaced it with summer pieces)
-
Seasonal school projects or backpacks
-
Unused tools from spring gardening projects
Tips:

Lawn equipment and gardening tools
