A great looking garden can give you the perfect place to relax with a cold drink on a hot day, or even somewhere to get comfortable with a good book as you listen to the world go by. The only issue with having a great looking garden, is that many of them require a lot of maintenance a garden year round.
The good news is, you don’t need to spend a lot of time or money to keep your garden looking incredible. Here, we have 7 ways you can keep your garden looking stunning year round. Take a look!
Choose Artificial Grass for a year round garden
Artificial grass may not be for everybody, but it can be the perfect choice for homeowners who don’t want to spend too much time cutting, watering, and feeding the grass to avoid yellow spots or bare patches. The grass always looks greener on the other side – unless you have Artificial Grass, that is. It still requires a small amount of maintenance to keep it clean, a little more so if you have pets. However, it’s definitely a viable and good looking option for many. If you work with the right company, you won’t be able to tell the difference!
Include Decking
Having a nice decking area can give your garden a great place for sitting, reading, catching up with loved ones, and watching your kids play. It also adds a little height and interest to your garden.
Use Pretty Lighting
Every stunning garden needs the right kind of lighting. Not only can this add to the atmosphere if you’re sitting outside during summer, it can also provide a bit of a security blanket if you’re coming home when it gets dark. String lights can add a whimsical feel, but there are plenty of other lighting options depending on your style.
Upcycle Pieces
Upcycling pieces can give your garden a unique look – plus, it’s so good for the environment. You could create treasure out of jars if you have kids, and you can do all kinds of wonderful things with pallets. Tire planters also look great, and you can make wind chimes out of jars, spoons, and all kinds of other things. See what you have that you no longer use and get creative.
Incorporate Native Flowers
Native flowers require less maintenance and still look great. You can also keep everything looking neat and tidy by using pots and planters. If you want to add some personality, use planters in a bright color.
Pick The Right Kind of Storage
A glass house or good looking shed is the ideal way to store garden items that you don’t need to use all the time. They can also be good for growing certain flowers and vegetables.
Incorporate A Focal Piece
Finally, incorporate a focal piece to give your garden that extra oomph. Perhaps this could be a large plant or a water feature.
