Whilst summer brings with it plenty of joy, it also means it’s time to get the garden sorted for the season ahead, which can often involve getting stuck into a few outdoor jobs…
So, we’ve come up with 5 stress-free ways to give your garden a summertime spruce, that won’t break the bank… or your back!
1. Build a Decking
A simple and effective way to add a luxurious feel to your garden while creating seating, lounging, or BBQ areas! If you're looking for a less-stress alternative to decking, our composite decking ranges are easier to clean and maintain when compared to traditional decking due to their part wood, part recycled plastic composition.
Millboard, Gronodec and Trudeck are among our suppliers and are some of the top dogs when it comes to the decking-bis!
Why not visit your nearest branch and have a chat with one of our trained experts about colours, styles and installation?
2. Create Some Glow With Outdoor Lighting
Adding lighting, such as garden bollards or spotlights, to your outdoor space allows you to enjoy your garden late into the evening. However, external lighting not only adds functionality, but it also makes your little oasis appear more expensive than it really is. Outdoor lighting costs very little to buy and install but looks a million dollars! Take a look at our garden lighting system here – it's so easy to fit you could do it yourself (if you wanted to!!)
3. Pave the Way
Consider your paving to be the foundation of your garden design, and you'll quickly realise how much cracked slabs and missing corners can detract from the overall appearance of your beautiful garden.
Paving can be used in several ways throughout the garden, creating paths or patios are paving stones most popular use but you can really get creative! Use paving stones to build a planter or lay them out in a hopscotch shape for the kids, they’re a limitless tool when it comes to adding an extra something to your outside area.

5. Fake It ‘Til You Make It With Artificial Grass
Artificial grass is definitely the solution if you want a beautiful green lawn but don't have the time to keep it trimmed and watered. It’s also great if you have pets as it’s super easy to clean, a quick spray with the hose or a brush with a firm bristle broom will do just the trick!
All of our grass is available in 2mtr and 4mtr widths, browse our artificial grass range here or at a branch today. Your neighbours will nearly be as green as your grass with envy when they spot your fresh new lawn!
