Spring is not too far away now, so you should be planning what additional luxuries you could be adding to your outdoor space to get it ready for the season. You might be supported by choice for local places to explore during the spring months, but that doesn’t mean you can’t give your garden a springtime makeover and spend more time out there.
You have your own piece of heaven right in your backyard, so why not look at how you can improve it and make it some way that you really want to spend all of your time? From adding an outdoor alfresco kitchen to give it a luxury upgrade to just tidying up the flower beds so that they are not overgrown, there are plenty of things that you could be doing to make your garden look great! Let’s take a look at a few of those things below:
- Vegetable garden. If you want to add some color to your backyard this year, why not consider adding a veggie garden? Not only will you be able to add an amazing amount of colour in your garden, but you’ll be able to have a feature piece. You could also put some homegrown veggies into your meals. There is nothing better than physically enjoying the fruits of your labor by planting them each springtime.
- Start pressure hosing your deck. You would be so surprised by the amount of debris and that that’s going to be covering your garden after the winter months. There will be a layer of grime all across your deck, but to get it looking slick again, all you need to do is get a pressure hose on it. Make sure that the material of your decking can withstand the pressure hose, however, because the last thing you want to do is to strip the wood off of yours.It’s amazing how quick wash can get your deck looking brand new and ready for the springtime.
- Give the outdoor furniture a good clean. Even if you’ve stored the outdoor furniture out while it’s been cleaned in the garage or in the shed, it still needs to be freshened up for the spring months before you get it all set up on the decking again. You want your outdoor space to look great, and that means changing up the cushions, updating the pots for your plants and flowers, or even just giving the furniture itself a good hose down, just like the decking, it’s going to gather quite a bit of grime.
- Upgrade your outdoor lights. By upgrading your light bulbs to LED ones, you’ll be able to maintain some energy efficiency so that you can stay out for a little bit longer when the sun goes down. You also won’t be adding to your electricity bills at the same time, especially if you go for a solar option. Solar powered fairy lights offer that whimsical look that makes your garden come out magical.
