How to make the most out of your outdoor space

June 29, 2020 by Annie

As summer approaches, garden owners often ponder about how they can make the most of their outdoor space and how to make it look more appealing. It is important to have a nicely groomed garden as this is where most people host gatherings and parties, so a tidy garden is just as important as a tidy home. This article will give you tips and tricks of how to make your outdoor space look its best and how to utilise garden essentials that you already own.

Look at your grass

How your grass looks within your garden is very important, as most gardens are huge grassed areas. However, grass can be difficult to look after, and some garden owners even employ gardeners to tackle the garden jobs for them. If you are someone who desires a beautifully tidy vibrant green grass, then why not consider having artificial grass within your outdoor space? You will save money in the long term from not employing a gardener and there is no maintenance if you are someone who cuts their own grass. Grass Warehouse is a company which specialise in artificial grass, so it may be worthwhile looking at your options. Weeds are also unsightly, so the removal of natural grass will help to prevent the growth of weeds.

Consider adding more plants and flowers

Plants and flowers add beauty to an outdoor space and there are plenty of variations of plants and flowers to choose from. Adding plants to your garden also offer the opportunity of growing of your own fruit and vegetables, which is both fun and cost effective long term. Although there are many benefits of growing, plants, flowers, fruit and vegetables, it is important to be aware of the plants which are able to grow within the British climate and which plants are not able to. For instance, orange trees do not produce as much produce as orange trees which are situated in hotter climates. Whereas strawberries and all types of berries are able to grow within our colder climate. Lastly, plants also need to be watered regularly, so once you have committed to having plants, great care and consideration needs to be taken for them.

Garden displays and accessories

If you wish to have an eye-catching garden which is something worth boasting about, then you can go all out and buy pretty water features and other types of garden accessories which are available to purchase. Artificial plants may also work well within your garden if you are not willing to keep up with the upkeep of owning plants. Climbing frames and slides may also work well within your garden if you have children.

Look at your fences and whether you have enough privacy within your garden

People tend to keep their garden fence within their gardens for years, meaning they can become old and tired and may even look like an eye sore. If your fences are still strong enough to last a few more years, then it may be a good idea to paint them with a colour of your choice so then your fences will look rejuvenated, or if this is not possible the purchase of new fences will be sufficient. Furthermore, garden owners often want privacy whilst they are using their gardens. If your garden lacks privacy, the use of higher fences and plants and trees will help to give a more secluded feel. You may unfortunately have noisy neighbours and to help block noise, plants and higher fences will also help to do this.

Hi! I'm Annie and I have 3 kids (all in their teens - yikes!). My mommy blog isn't all about lunches and DIY - it's also about humour. Like how my kids make fun of my texts as if I don't know how to use emojis (I DO!). Now that I have a bit more time - since my kids don't want to hang out with me (teenagers), I have taken up blogging.
