Now that we are all spending a bit more time at home, why not take a look at your garden to see if you can inject some life into it? There are so many ways that you can turn your garden into your own personal paradise. Here are a few tips that you can follow to spruce up your outside space.

Shed

Having a high-quality shed will change the look of your garden dramatically. If your shed is looking old and tired, it might be time to invest in a new one. A new shed can really change the look of the whole space. If you don’t currently own a shed, you may find that it not only helps balance your garden, but it may solve some storage issues that you have in parts of your house. If you want a high-quality shed, wooden sheds from Shedstore are the answer. They provide a huge range of sheds that are available online, so that you can find your perfect match for your outside space. Their prices include the flooring of the shed itself and they offer no contact delivery in light of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Fence

Is your fence looking quite old, or perhaps it’s damaged from the wind? The look of your fence can again frame your garden and give it a whole new look. Look into having a long lasting, durable fence in case of any harsh weather. When thinking about installing a new fence, consider the different colour choices you could have. You can purchase paint that is specially made for the outdoors so, again, it can last through different weather conditions. If you have quite an abstract style but feel your garden doesn’t really reflect that about you, why not paint the fence a bright colour so that it really feels like your own space? Or, if you would prefer, why not paint it a pastel or muted colour to really bring a sense of serenity and calmness to your garden? The possibilities are endless.

Outdoor Seating

In preparation for the summer, why not look into some outdoor seating? Something as simple as a table and chairs can really balance the look of the garden. There are so many different types of table and chairs – you could go for a classic natural looking set that’s made from wood to fit in with your garden’s aesthetic, or perhaps go for something with a pop of colour. If you wanted a more vintage look, you could go for either new or second hand metal bistro style furniture sets. If you don’t have enough space for a table and chairs or just don’t want that much furniture in your garden, you could opt for a swing style hammock chair. They are so comfortable and a great place to relax, even on a slightly chillier day!

Grass Fertiliser

Something that you may be overlooking about your garden is the quality of your grass. If your grass is patchy and dead in some areas, using lawn fertiliser will give your grass a new lease of life. Having good grass will make the garden look new and healthy. You would be surprised to know how much of an effect bad grass has on a garden’s overall look. You can buy fertiliser from shops instore or online, but there is also an option that you can make your own fertiliser too, which may be more cost-effective.

Plants and Flowers

Plants and flowers can liven any space up, whether it’s in your garden or inside your home. There are so many types of plants you could have in your garden; you could either go for a mix to make your garden bright and multi-coloured, or you could settle on a style of plant and flower that you like. For example, you could go for a tropical theme and buy tropical style plants and flowers. Do your research before buying, and maybe even draw out a diagram on how you want your garden to look, outlining which plants you want and where.

You could even have some flowers or plants crawling up a trellis on your fence, or you could invest in a trellis archway. Read the instructions on how to care for these flowers and plants before you go ahead and buy them, as some may need more care than others and some may even need to be planted differently or perhaps use different soil types, etc.

As we are all spending a bit more time at home, this is such a great opportunity to look after and spruce up your outdoor space. Gardening is a great way to relax and unwind and take some time out of busy modern-day life. And the results will have your home and garden looking great!
