As the weather starts to get a bit warmer, you might be venturing out into your garden a bit more to start getting it into the best shape for summer. However, the cost of living crisis is impacting a lot of homes this year, so it’s important to save money where you can. The following are a few tips to spruce up your garden affordably.
1. Use an outdoor rug
If your patio is looking a bit untidy but you don’t have the time or money to clean it up, a quick and cheap way to brighten it up is to use an outdoor rug. Not only do they add something unique to your garden, you can still pop your Charles Taylor garden furniture on it and enjoy the outdoors.
2. Save rain water
To save significantly on your water bill, make use of the downpours the UK so often gets by catching it in a few watering cans or investing in a water butt. This way, you’ve always got some water to quench your plants’ thirst without running your tap all the time.
3. Give your garden a paint job
A quick paint job on your fences or your shed can significantly impact the appearance of your garden in a positive way. Instead of investing in a new fence or shed, making the most of the ones you have is the most cost-effective solution. Bright colours are recommended if you want to create more of an open space, but consider the theme of your garden before you choose your final colour.
