You might often think of new ways to make the most of your home on a budget, but do you ever think about how you could spruce up your garden for less? Today we are going to look at some simple ways to make your garden feel and look brand new.

Light It Up

Adding some pretty garden lights can make a huge difference to the atmosphere in your garden, especially late at night. There is a huge range of lighting you can choose from to make your garden feel ambient and amazing. First up, solar lights. Placing solar lights around the garden is a cheap and attractive way to add a soft glow to your garden, because they don’t require any power. Stick them in your flowerbeds and watch the sun power them up for you. Fairy lights draped over a conservatory or in a tree can add an air of magic to your garden; and again, you can buy solar powered fairy lights to save money.

Add Some Furniture

Garden furniture is an amazing way of making the most of your space and allowing you to have a place to entertain your family and friends in the summer months. Companies such as Lavita Furniture offer a huge range of affordable furniture to take your garden to the next level. You can also add soft furnishings such as waterproof cushions and candle holders for extra lighting.

Paint your fence and shed

The simple act of adding a lick of paint can be a lifesaver for anyone making home improvements on a budget. If you have ugly, crumbling fence panels in your garden, painting them a lighter and brighter colour can instantly add a spark of life back into your garden.

Colour it in

If you feel like your garden is lacking some colour and vibrancy, you can add a splash of colour with some simple changes. Paint some old plant pots a bright and vibrant colour, or even buy a colourful wooden planter to store your favourite fruits and herbs. Some beautiful pastel colours will transform your garden into a summer dream.

Look After The Lawn

Grass makes up the largest part of your garden, and you need to learn how to take care of it to keep it healthy and green. Many gardeners will fertilise their lawns a couple of times a year to inject some essential nutrients back into the ground. Fertiliser will help your grass to grow stronger and prevent weeds taking over your garden floor. If you don’t want to buy your fertiliser, you could make your own in a compost bin.

Add a Water Feature

A simple way to add a touch of luxury to your garden is to add in some water. Now, it doesn’t need to be a 5 foot fountain in your back garden; it could be as simple as a small pond or even a bird bath. You will attract more wildlife to your garden and turn it into a paradise.
