Your garden is a peaceful extension of your home. From enjoying a BBQ with your friends to relaxing in your lounger with a cup of tea as autumn hits, there are plenty of opportunities to spend time outside in your back garden.

Staying on top of your garden and improving it can be done in a number of ways, depending on your budget. One of the unique and touching ideas, in my opinion is to plant a memorial tree in honor of someone that is dear to your heart. Perhaps its a pet that touched your life, planting a tree in its honor is an incredible kind way to help the memory go on, while improving your garden. 

Refurbish your fencing and shed 

A really simple and effective way to improve your garden is to respray your fencing and shed. Its pretty affordable and could be a fun project to enjoy with your loved ones. Your outside structures do age and have wear and tear. Simple new paint is not too expensive and by spending the day repainting it, you can quickly make it look as good as new. If you fancy a change, this gives you the opportunity to change the color completely – why not change from a wooden color to a nice blue? Pinterest is a great place to look if you are after some inspiration. 

Consider lighting 

Have you considered using lighting as a way to improve your garden? Adding this beautiful feature adds a new dynamic to your backyard by highlighting key areas and enhancing the curb appeal. Lighting is a cost-effective way to improve your garden as well as add a bit of your own personality. You can buy spotlights, floodlights, string lights, step lights and more. In fact, I do see lots of such additions to properties that I either sell or visit with my buyers. The magestic atmosphere that is created with this option sure ads on to the marketing and mass appeal. Owners and so do the next generation of buyers always are happy when the lights are present at the house. 

Upgrade your backyard entertainment area

New furniture/sitting area/chairs/lounges and even fire pits can be costly but sure enough its one of the quickest ways to improve your garden. You can buy new chairs, purchase a shed (if you haven’t got one), upgrade your loungers, and buy a BBQ amongst many other things. Interesting enough, from showing so many homes, I witness the clients appreciate the outside gazebos or bar type of structures. Adding an entertainment unit for outside sure does impress guests by making cocktails when having them over.

Perhaps a complete change is in order

While this might not sound simple, sometimes the peace of mind to do a complete change, period. If this is toom much to do on your own and you have means to hire a professional, perhaps this is a better venue to consider? How about consulting or hiring with a specialist who offers landscape construction, share your vision with them and then successfully move forward.
