Looking to revamp your garden but not sure where to start? Here are some small garden improvement ideas that will make a huge difference to your outdoor space…
2020 has seen us all turn our sights to DIY and home improvement projects. All those niggly things we’ve murmured to ourselves about fixing up for months have finally come to fruition. And the garden is no exception. Now that the summer is here and the weather is really hotting up, it’s time to look at your back garden space and make it the outdoor haven you’ve always wanted. Here are some small garden improvement ideas that will make a big difference…
Invest in good quality path lighting
One of the first garden improvement ideas to execute is to invest in some good quality path lighting. Not only is it great from a practical point of view, but can also transform the look of your garden. Place it along the edge of your pathway, driveway or around flowerbeds and your garden will be instantly imbued with a luxurious yet tranquil feel. It’s a great way to highlight your plants or garden ornaments and to ensure you and your guests can see where you are going. Villa Neri path lights are a great option. They come with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and are controlled by a dedicated mobile app to set up and control them from anywhere via your smartphone or tablet. They are compatible with Apple HomeKit, Google Home and Amazon Alexa. They look stylish, are quick to set up and are both weatherproof and durable.
Upgrade your plants
There’s no point have a garden full of plants if they look an overgrown mess. Have a good sort through and get rid of those which are full of weeds or just aren’t pulling their weight. If you have withered old shrubs that are ruining the aesthetic of your garden it’s just not worth it anymore. Have a good sort out and come up with a solid plan for your new plants and where they should go. The same rule applies to pots. If you have lots of garden pots with plants in bloom, but the pots are old, weathered and looking past their best, it is time for a refresh.
Invest in nice garden furniture
Not only is nice garden furniture ideal for relaxing in and enjoying your space once it is finished, but it also brings the whole look of your garden together. Depending on your space, there is so much you can do. Why not choose a garden swing or a hammock? This way you can gently sway to the delicious scents and sounds of your garden, enjoying the sun on your face. Be sure to get a good table and chairs set so you can enjoy al fresco dining with your friends and family. Have a look for furniture with removable cushions so if the weather does take a turn for the worst it doesn’t matter.
These are just three simple ways you can instantly transform your garden. Let us know your favourite ideas in the comments below!
