Summer is not cancelled! With restrictions lifting and the sun finally peeking out from behind the clouds, many of us across the UK are getting excited for a summer filled with outdoor plans. If you’re planning your garden glow up, you’re going to want to read this…

We’ve decided to put together some helpful tips on how you can transform your garden this summer, without clearing out your bank balance. Check it out.

Choose your plants wisely

There’s no need to spend a fortune on plants, especially if you’re too busy to commit to the maintenance. Garden centres offer a range of low maintenance plants which can add colour and privacy to your garden. Read this handy article from Frosts on the perfect plants for shaded areas.

Create a raised space

If you’re looking to add depth to your garden, creating a raised space can be a great way of making a space look bigger. From raised beds to raised decking and seating areas, adding levels to your garden looks great! P.S. Check out our instagram to see how we’ve done this in the past.

Lighting is key!

Thinking about how your garden looks at night time is so important when planning your design. Select a lighting style and hue that will give your garden the evening vibe you’ve been dreaming of. If you’ve not got the budget or time to run electrics across the garden, there are a host of impressive solar powered lights available to buy online and in stores. P.S. We did some of the hard work for you – Have a browse on Glow and Lights for some great solar powered string lights!

Aesthetics are important

The aesthetics of things in your garden can have a huge impact on the overall look and feel. Have you considered how your garden shed or fence will fit in with your ideas? Sometimes, a simple lick of paint can help blend those not so pretty features in, but if you’re looking for more creative options on how to improve the overall aesthetic of your garden, drop us a message!
