How your garden looks says a lot about who you are as a person – just like the shoes you wear and how you look when going out for a meal. If your garden looks neat, tidy, and presentable then guests will assume that you look after yourself and are a well-presented person. If it’s the opposite, guests may presume you don’t care about your appearance as your garden looks messy.
Updating your garden is quickly done. There are so many cost-effective ways to update your garden and more expensive changes that you can make to make it presentable. Simple changes like buying pool deck paint to update the pool look, respraying your shed and your fences, and mowing your lawn can make a big difference. If you want to invest more in your garden, you could change your furniture, add a patio or purchase a shed to reduce the clutter.
To help you with updating your garden, below are our top tips.
Respray your fences
When was the last time you put a lick of paint on your fences? If it was a long time ago, now could be the chance to do it again. You’ll be amazed at how much difference a new, fresh lick of paint can make to the appearance of your garden. It brings it back to life and makes it look like it’s new again. If you are bored with the colour it currently is, you can always switch things up and choose a new colour. For inspiration, Pinterest has many designers who upload images of their gardens for you to take note of.
Update your furniture
If you have the budget spare and fancy making an investment in your garden, then new furniture could be the way to go. New furniture instantly updates the look of a place and enables you to add new functionality to a room – especially your garden. You could buy new seats or sun loungers, a side table so that people can put their drinks down or an umbrella for the hot sunny days. Furniture varies in price depending on the shops you visit, so make sure you spend a moment browsing different retailers in order to get the most for your money. You never know, you may find some things to invest in your bathroom whilst looking.
Mow your lawn
One of the first things to do in your garden is to mow the lawn. Cut it down to a presentable size so that you can enjoy sunbathing on it and having BBQs. If it’s overgrown, it can look very unpleasant when looking at it, out of the window and we can guarantee you won’t want to spend any time outside on it. Lawnmowers are not expensive, even the most basic one should do the trick.
