Spruce up your garden this spring

2 Minute Read

After a wet start to the season, your garden may be looking rather tired and in need of some TLC. Why not give your garden a new look with some simple landscaping tricks and solutions? Keep reading to find out how to transform your garden in time for summer.

Plant flowers for instant colour and texture

One of the quickest ways to refresh your garden is to add colour and interest with flowers. Choose blooms that are easy to care for and require minimal maintenance. Consider using ground covering plants too, as they will quickly spread, giving you a dose of colour.

Perennials are great additions too and will keep your garden looking great with little effort year after year. If you want to add more height to beds, consider planting roses or shrubs for structure and colour.

Hide unsightly wheelie bins with garden storage solutions

Wheelie bins can be a real eyesore in any outdoor space, but they don’t have to be if you get creative with storage solutions. We have a wide range of stylish and functional options to help keep your bins out of sight while still being easily accessible when needed.

Add decorative stone for visual interest

Adding decorative stone is another great way to give your garden a transformation this season. Consider adding gravel pathways leading up to the front of your home for an attractive cottage style feature, or use stepping stones within grassy areas for a unique look without needing much maintenance.

You could also use larger stones around flower beds or trees to break up the space and create focal points in the landscape design.

Plant hanging baskets

Planting up a hanging basket is one of the simplest and most effective ways to update the appearance of your front garden. Not only do they add visual interest and height, but they are relatively low-maintenance too!

Trailing plants such as ivies can cascade over and along the top of the basket for an eye-catching display. Filler plants provided by flowers, such as petunias, provide an additional colour pop. There's nothing quite like a bright and vibrant hanging basket to add a pop of colour to your front door.

Elevate your space with container planters

Adding vibrant flowers to your front garden is an excellent way to elevate your space. Try planting decorative pots and containers of unique blooms in different shapes, sizes, and colours. Combine angles and tiered heights for a captivating visual impact. Not sure which flowers to plant? Why not try classic favourites like pansies, carnations or peonies that never fail to delight? An eye-catching display of different flowers is all it takes to bring instant joy to your garden.
