Spending time outside is not only pleasant but vital for our health and wellbeing. However, it can be hard to get enough sunlight and fresh air if your garden isn’t quite where you’d like it to be. The good news is that transforming your garden into a beautiful oasis is possible, with just a few simple changes. Here are some ideas to try.
Install a pond
One of the best ways to enhance your garden space is to add a water feature like a pond. There is something about having even a small amount of water in the garden that so many of us find aesthetically pleasing and relaxing.
When considering adding in a pond there are several factors you will need to address. First of all, you’ll need to think about where you will situate it, as well as how large or small you will make it. You’ll also need to come up with a way to make sure the pond space maintains water properly such as by adding a rigid liner, and a way of keeping the water clean and aerated, for example by using a pump.
Get a perfectly green lawn all year around
Lawns have to be the most common feature in all gardens. Unfortunately, keeping a lawn looking lush and green all year round can be a real challenge, which can lead to your garden looking less than impressive for most of the year.
There are things you can do to increase the likelihood of your lawn looking good such as regularly airing it at the right time, weeding it, feeding it and resowing the bald patches. However, for many people, this is just too much to keep up with all of the time.
To that end, you may wish to consider working with one of the many reputable Artificial Grass Suppliers in your area and getting synthetic grass laid. Indeed, the advantages of synthetic grass are many and include never having to water it, weed it, or sow it again. All while benefiting from natural-looking and soft-feeling grass for your garden.
Add flowers in tubs
Flowers are an absolute must when it comes to beautifying your garden. However, placing them in beds can be hard work, rewarded with only a short period of colour and texture. That is why it’s much better to plant flowers in tubs.
Then you can replace them easily as they pass their prime, as well as place them anywhere in your garden that needs a shot of bright colour.
Give yourself some privacy
If you feel like your garden is exposed or overlooked by neighbours, and this is preventing you from spending more time outside, this is easily solved with the addition of some privacy screening.
There are plenty of options for privacy screens to consider, including fast-growing shrubs and trees which provide an organic and beautiful solution to this issue. Other options are to add fencing or raffia work panels which can block the view into your garden.
You may even want to add some overhead protection too, such as a sunsail positioned over a terrace, which will not only provide you with more privacy but also add shade on sunny days.
