Quick Ways To Spruce Up Your Garden

William Thompson & Son • 21 December 2021

Does your garden need some TLC but you don’t have much time for a complete redo of it? Well, there are plenty of quick and easy ways to improve your garden that will take you no time at all. Having a well presented and aesthetically appealing garden can improve your mental health, impress your friends and increase the value of your property in case you sell soon.


Read on for some garden improvements that you can do in no time at all.



Maintenance

Start to improve your garden with some quick maintenance jobs. Give your grass a trim, prune any plants or bushes that have become overgrown, get rid of all your weeds, remove dead leaves and paint your fences. You’ll be left with a whole new garden with just a few simple chores done. You can just leave your garden as it is, but once you’ve done your maintenance, why not try improving the garden with some of these:


A Garden Path

Change up a plain grass lawn by creating a garden path. You can use gravel, cement slabs, reclaimed stone or more. A garden path can be a great statement piece for a garden, offering a path across the grass to a pond or seating area. Uniform concrete slabs provide a modern, sleek look while randomly sized pieces make a rustic alternative.


Flower, Fruit or Herb Garden

Add a bit of colour and practical use to your garden by starting a flower, fruit or herb garden. They can make your space look beautiful, while also attracting animals to your ecosystem and provide fruit or herbs that you can use in your own kitchen, give to friends and family or even sell for a profit. When thinking about making a garden, consider where to position it so it gets plenty of natural light, use topsoil packed with nutrients, plant seasonal produce and make sure the drainage is great. You can use recycled aggregates to add drainage to your garden, helping your space grow better.


Plant Pots

Plant pots are a great way to increase the amount of nature in your garden while adding bright, interesting plots. Hanging baskets can be rigged up in the air to create cascading foliage.
