Is your garden looking a little beaten and drab after the onslaught of winter? Get your garden summer ready in no time with these 5 easy tips for a gorgeous outdoor space.

1. Whip Your Garden into Shape
Start by making the most of what you already have. You’ll be surprised how much basic garden maintenance will perk up your outdoor space and make it feel like a somewhere you can relax in. It’s time to channel your inner Titchmarsh…

Lawn
Just give it a mow! There’s nothing nicer than a freshly clipped lawn, it looks great and smells amazing. If it’s looking less than lush, sprinkle with seed and water regularly.

Patio/Decking
Remove any moss or weeds from between paving flags and give decking some much-deserved love by sanding and re-treating with a stain or protector. If you have a jet washer, giving any paving a quick blast will transform from tired slabs to almost new!

Borders and Pots
W**d out all the undesirables and turn over the soil for a fresh, maintained look.

2. Create ‘The Look’
Is your garden looking a little blah? Why not edge your lawn so that you have a nice clean line between the grass and any flower beds? It’s a super quick fix using border edging, that won’t break the bank but can make a big difference, and make mowing easier.

3. Planters
Add more colour and interest to your patio or decking by using garden planters and troughs. What’s the secret to a stunning garden pot? Mix and match plant heights, textures and colours. Always use compost not garden soil and don’t forget to water them through the summer! Think about the full sensory experience and go for beautifully scented shrubs and flowers such as honeysuckle and lavender, whose scents will drift across the warm evening air.

4 Prepare to Entertain’
Set the mood and ensure your BBQs and dinners extend well past dusk with simple outdoor lighting. Solar lights not only illuminate the surroundings but also add a little extra character, and allow you to enjoy your garden 24/7. Flickering tea lights in jam jars are another lovely way to inject instant charm, great for lighting before a BBQ or when the sun starts to go down.

Don’t forget the gazebo! You live in the UK and no matter what the weather forecast says, always prepare for drizzle. A pop-up gazebo is a perfect protection in case of a sudden downpour, store in the shed for quick retrieval in the event of precipitation.
