Although it doesn’t feel like it at the moment, spring is on the horizon and we can look forward to putting the dull, cold and damp days of winter behind us and spending time out in the garden once again.
Now is a good time to start getting your garden ready so that you can really make the most of it when spring and summer arrive. Here are some things that you can do now…
Add Garden Storage – Having good storage in the garden can help to make it less cluttered and also ensures that you can keep some of your garden items safe when the weather gets bad. A garden shed is perfect for all manner of things, from kids toys to garden furniture.
There are lots of shapes, sizes and styles around, so now is a good time to have a look and get one put up to keep your garden all in order.
Make Repairs – There have been lots of storms and lots of bad weather around this winter, and many people have had damage done to their gardens, from blown down fences to debris thrown around by the wind. The harsh winter weather can take its toll, so now is the time to look for damage to the garden and make repairs. You might want to get a professional like this fencing Gloucester based company to put up a new garden fence for you, as well as checking other things in the garden from drain pipes to greenhouses.
Clean up your Patio and Patio Furniture – Another result of the bad weather is the fact that lots of your garden can get covered in dirt and debris, so you might want to give it all a good clean before you use it again. Cleaning a patio or decking, not only makes it more pleasant to look at but also makes it less dangerous as dirt and leaves can make it slimy and slippery underfoot.
Create a Pond or Water Feature – If you want to make your garden look nicer for when you spend time out there, then a small pond or a water feature can help to do this. As well as looking beautiful, ponds are an important habitat for wildlife all year around.
