How many of us have seen those gardening shows on tv and thought: I wish my garden looked like that? Well sprucing up your garden is not as hard as you may think. There are lots of easy ways to make your garden look more presentable and stylish. If you are looking to impress people with your house, then the garden is the place to start improving. Before people walk through the front door and see your beautiful home, they will take notice of your front garden.
Painting the Fence
Painting is a fun way to make your garden look more classy. Change the colour of your fence from a dull brown to a beautiful, bright, white. Or be creative. While you are at it, plant some roses or plants along the bottom of your fence. They will grow and make the surrounding area stand out. How about painting your old furniture? It may look worn out and old but that can certainly be changed with a fresh lick of the right colour.
New Furniture
Why not buy some completely new furniture instead? You could buy a new garden bench or some chairs. A small sitting area is a brilliant way to give your garden a more welcoming feel. We are approaching summer so now is the perfect time to design a place where you can sit and relax with your friends outside. You can also look into adding some wildlife to your garden. Not real wildlife of course. But a couple stone animals could really make it look like something special and unique.
Remember to Cut Your Grass
Simple and easy to remember. When I was a child, I used to love the idea of letting the grass grow as long as possible, turning our garden into a wild jungle. My mother and father reverently disagreed, and our lush green lawn was always cut as short as possible. I have to admit, it makes a garden look a lot more neat and tidy.
Follow the Brick Road
You could think about laying a tile path through your front garden, leading to your front door. Again, consider planting some flowers along side it. Watch it blossom into a place to be admired. If you do not have one, you could also consider laying down a patio in your back garden. This may lead to you designing a home built BBQ area for some delicious summer evenings. Separating your garden into different sections will also make it seem a lot bigger and grander.
Bill and Ben
We have already touched on adding flowers to your garden. But adding some flower pots with a wide variety of different kinds will add both colour and life. It will attract bees and make your garden feel lived in, rather than just ornamental.
These are just a few ideas to get those creative juices flowing. The key thing to remember is, be imaginative. Design a rough plan of what you want your finished garden to look like and then let yourself go. I am sure the final result will be outstanding.
