Giving Your Garden The Makeover It Deserves: On A Budget

As we move into the spring time your garden may be well overdue a little sprucing up. If you’re working on a budget, but still looking to give your garden a spring clean, here are some makeover ideas to kickstart the transformation!



Tidy Up

Giving your garden a little tidy will make all the difference! There are a few things you can do to ‘tidy things up’. Try clearing any rubbish or clutter to start with. Get everything out of your way. Then you can start the more tedious task of weeding! Getting all those pesky weeds out of unwanted places will definitely give your garden a much neater look. You can try tidying up your borders a little too, giving your garden nice clean lines, making everything look well organised and put together.

Paint Your Furniture

Once you’ve tidied everything up, you can move onto the more creative ideas! If you’ve got bits of furniture that are looking a little worse for wear, a lick of paint could be just the fix.

This is a great opportunity to get creative and breathe some life back into your garden. Try painting a pattern or going for a fun colour. Bursts of colour in your garden will contrast the green of your lawn and shrubs, giving it a fresh new look.

New Pots

New plant pots can be another way to introduce more aesthetically pleasing elements to your garden. If you can find some unique looking pots, that would bring a fresh and exciting aesthetic to your garden.

 Even if you’re on a budget, there are plenty of places to get nice and affordable outdoor plant pots. Try charity shops and thrift stores. Also, local garden centres should have pots that aren’t too expensive.

Upcycle Your Items

This is a great way of making your garden look unique and new while also using items that were previously of no use. You could use old indoor furniture, mirrors that are not being used, stools and more.

Wooden palettes and small decorative elements like signs and wall hangings are also great ways to adorn your garden without going to buy lots of new items.
