[AD] Summer is right around the corner, so it’s time to whip those gardens into shape. A long winter can sometimes leave your outdoor space looking a little worse for wear, but if you’re searching for inspiration to take your garden to the next level this summer, we’ve put together four simple things you can do to make your outdoor space stand out from the crowd. The only equipment you’ll need is a trusty step ladder!
Step ladders are a versatile piece of equipment that can be used to carry out a wide range of tasks, but always remember that when working at height it’s important to remain safe at all times! Make sure your step ladder is in good condition, and try to avoid working at height alone.
1. Hang String Lights
String lights (also commonly known as fairy lights) are a simple yet effective way to create a cosy and welcoming atmosphere in your outdoor space without breaking the bank!
And for the cherry on top, string lights are available in a wide array of colours, shapes, designs and brightness levels. No matter what unique aesthetic you’re going for, you’re guaranteed to find string lights that complement the vibes of your outdoor space.
2. Put Up a Bird House
If you’re a fan of bird watching, putting up a bird house is a great way to invite wild birds into your garden and do your bit to support the local wildlife. Installing and setting up a bird house doesn’t take very long at all, and soon enough, you could be relaxing in your garden watching the wild birds come and go all day.
3. Add a Fresh Coat of Paint
Even the most durable of outdoor weatherproof paint fades over time. If your garden is looking a little run down, adding a fresh coat of paint to your walls and fencing can help revivify your space.
Whether you just brighten up the existing colours or decide to make a change and add an exciting new colour, slapping on some fresh paint will make all the difference. Step ladders are great tools for gaining safe and secure access those hard-to-reach areas safely when painting in the garden.
4. Add Hanging Plants
Plants and greenery are a great way to brighten up any space, both inside and outside. If you want your garden to really stand out, why not consider adding hanging plants?
Hanging plants add aesthetic value, creating a beautiful drape and elegant yet natural finish. Hanging plants also have the added benefit of enticing to bees. They’ll flock to the greenery and pollinate your flowers!
These are just a few of the simple and effective ways in which you can enhance your outdoor space this summer to make it more welcoming. We hope this blog helps you create that perfect space for relaxing and soaking up the sun this summer. Next time you’re looking to upgrade your garden, don’t forget to reach for your trusty step ladder!
