Ways to enhance the look of your outdoor area

May 24, 2021

Invest in artificial grass

If you decide to invest in artificial grass to replace you’re the natural grass of your lawn, it will really enhance the look of the exterior of your home. This because, artificial grass always looks vibrant and perfect, whilst looking as natural as natural grass, so investing in artificial grass is a no brainer when you are aiming to enhance the look of your outdoor area.

Add a patio

Most gardens have a patio, this is because it is better for outdoor furniture to be placed on a firm surface, rather than placing it on grass as it does damage the surface of the grass. So if you are looking to add outdoor furniture to your garden, then a patio is essential. However, some may say that to add a patio to your garden is very time consuming and it can be very expensive. That is a valid point, but adding a patio to a garden is only expensive depending on the type of material that is bought. For instance, a granite slab is usually twice the price of a concrete slab. So, it is important to evaluate how much you are willing to spend on a new patio and to think about the types of paving that will fit your sense of style and your budget.

Use outdoor lighting

Outdoor lighting such as fairy lights and solar lights, make an outdoor area look magical (if you pardon the pun) it almost ‘Disney-fies’ a garden and it creates an asythetically pleasing look in your garden. If you really want your garden to look enchanting, then the use of outdoor lighting really is the way to go. The best thing about solar lights and fairy lights is that they can be purchased for as little as £1, so it’s a win win!

Plant new plants and flowers

New pants and flowers really enhance the look of a garden. When most people envision their dream garden, it is usually full of beautiful plants and flowers. The best plants to grow in a British climate are: Mediterranean Spurge, Hydrangea Arborecens, Rosa ‘Wedding Day’, Iris, Geranium, Primula Vulgaris and Hemerocallis. The reason why we have listed those plants is because they survive all kinds of weather conditions, so they will definitely survive in a British garden! However, it is important to be aware that Hydrangea Arborecens are toxic to dogs and cats, so they are not suitable for dog and cat owners’ gardens.

Use ornaments and water features

Ornaments and water features seem to give an effortless character to an outdoor area. Most homeowners add ornaments and water features to their garden because it makes a plain garden look less bland. The most popular ornament used in a British garden are garden gnomes, they seem to give a fairy-tale like affect to a garden and children may even believe that the gnomes are real! Water features on the other hand really vary from garden to garden, some homeowners like to splash out on fancy water features whereas other home owners just like to add a subtle water feature in the corner of their garden.
