Garden Renovation Ideas On A Budget

Renovation Ideas For Your Garden

Every year in the UK, homeowners spend a considerable amount of money on renovating their gardens. Furthermore, high-priced garden designs get drawn out by a landscape gardener, taking up a large part of the overall budget. However, fundamentally you do not need to use a substantial section of your money on this. Sometimes the littlest change to your garden renovation can transform your garden. In this article, we will explore how you can remodel your garden on a budget.

Make The Most Of Your Gardens Size

For many homeowners in the UK, their garden space is limited. With many people owning a terraced house. If this is something of a familiar issue, make the most of your wall space. Try a simple garden renovation of a terrace covered in Virginia Creeper ivy. The beautiful red ivy is ideal for climbing and has a suitable aerial root, helping it cling firmly to fencing and walls. Furthermore, the leaves become bright red during the autumn season. Or try some decorative hanging baskets. Hanging baskets are now available ready-made at the garden centres so you can display them easily without getting your hands dirty. Another option is to decorate your garden with tall plants like Bay trees or Italian Cypress trees.

Add Some Colour To Your Garden Renovation

Sometimes a new collection of plants or adding a colourful flower bed to your garden can create a new lease of life to your garden. Choose flamboyant coloured plants like the Firefinch, the Alexandra or the traditional Rose. The Rose comes in many colour variants offering something for every garden. Or try adding some colour to your garden fences or walls. Exterior wall paint is affordable and easy to apply yourself. Maybe consider giving your wooden deck an upgrade, perhaps a sanding and reconditioning or possibly a fresh coat of paint too.

Create A Feature Garden

Many UK gardens once had garden gnomes as a focal point. The gnomes got displayed around small garden ponds or on the edge of flower beds. However, there are so many more garden ornaments to choose from today. For example, the stainless steel mirrored gazing balls or the eye-catching hard resin animal statues, both popular with many homeowners. Another option is to arrange different plants or rocks in your garden thoughtfully.

Light Up Your Garden

During the summer season, you will find that you tend to spend long periods of the day in your garden. So installing lighting is a great way to modify the look of your garden. Furthermore, lighting will allow you to enjoy your evening as the sunsets during the warmer evenings.

A new lighting system can be an expensive investment. However, there are affordable options. Like rope lights or exterior fairy lights, hang these strategically throughout your garden, for instance, across a gazebo or along the wall. Other affordable lighting options include the contemporary outdoor Bollard lights. The Bollard lights are commonly placed in flower beds or around plants to create a feature for them.
