We are nearly at the greatest time of the year… summer! The time when we flock outside to enjoy the sun, cosy up with a good book and a pair of shades as we enjoy an iced coffee and a lolly from the freezer.

But is your garden summer-ready? You might have neglected maintenance over the last few months, and now are left with a space that is not at its best to enjoy a relaxing summer in.

Here are some tips from the team here at Hales Sawmills to help you get your garden summer-ready!

Get Planting

While plants can take a while to go and ideally you would plant them over spring, it’s never too late! Get to your shop and grab some plants that grow quickly if you want results in no time at all. Or buy already bloomed flowers and replant them in your garden for instant greenery.

Landscaping Tips

Some landscaping can bring a world of difference to your garden. Landscaping could include taming your lawn, cutting patterns into your grass, dealing with any weeds and cutting topiary into aesthetically pleasing shapes. While you can rely on mowing the lawn and doing other tasks yourself, you might consider hiring a proper landscaper if you want to totally transform a space and make it perfect.

Refresh Aggregates

Are your aggregates in your garden looking a bit lacklustre? Some of the stones, sand or any other aggregates you use might have lost their shine and aesthetics over the winter months, so refreshing your aggregates is a great way to bring a new lease of life to your space. This could be some fresh gravel for your garden path or some more sand around a pond.

New Exterior Paint

Nothing brightens up a space more than a fresh coat of paint. A great way to make sure your garden is summer-ready is a lick of new exterior paint on your outside elements. This could include any wooden outdoor furniture, summerhouses, sheds or even the side of your house if you fancy a big change!
