Five Ways to Transform The Garden With Impact

Something that many people will be more than familiar with is trying, and sometimes failing, to look after our gardens. It’s something that many make seem so easy, yet when we try it for ourselves, it’s more difficult than it seems. 

If the garden is looking a bit overgrown, here are five methods to make a lasting impact when you revamp the garden.

Plant flowers

This might not be a new flash, but it’s worth its own section due to the impact it makes. Flowers are a great way to transform any garden and put a bit of color into it. Select an area of your garden to become a flower bed. It doesn’t have to be a large section. For example, you could put a flower bed along one side of your fence. Alternatively, if you don’t have the room for this, you can place a few pots with flowers in around your garden. Whichever you decide, even just a few flowers can brighten any garden. 

Add plants

As well as planting flowers, adding other types of plants to your garden is a great way to transform it. If you don’t feel capable of keeping plants alive, there’s always artificial plants - which can actually work outdoors as well as indoors, if kept out of direct sun/heat. A great spot for fake plants is a patio or deck - however, these do not help the wildlife or ecosystem in any way. Therefore, it may be best to buy real plants. Whatever you decide, any form of greenery will instantly make your garden look a bit more vibrant. 

Paint The fence

Fed up with the fence? Rather than replacing the entire fence, a more cost-effective method is to paint the fence panels that are already there. Go for a brighter or darker color than what you already have for the biggest impact. The best part about painting the fence is complete control over the color for something totally original. Just make sure to treat the fence before and after and follow any tips on painting to ensure it’s long-lasting. 

Get a garden shed

A great addition to any garden is a garden shed. Depending on the size of the shed, it can be used as storage, or a larger shed can be used as more of a summer house. One great type of shed is a composite shed. A composite shed is eco-friendly, has a water-resistant roof, and has an aluminum gutter system. Not only that, but they look incredibly chic too and come in great styles from modern minimalist to farmhouse charm.

Add some furniture

Garden furniture is a good way to make the garden look in a better state and more welcoming. Whether going for an outdoor table and chairs to sit at while enjoying a few drinks and some food, an outdoor sofa, or even a hammock, garden furniture is instantly going to make any visitors want to sit outside.
