Do you feel as though your space isn’t quite as fresh as it could be?

Maybe you feel as though you need to update it but just have no idea where to start. Either way, now is the time for you to take action. If you follow the below tips then you will find it easier to make your garden pop, and it won’t take much effort either.

Keep a Tidy Lawn

One of the best things you can do is keep a tidy lawn. A well-kept lawn can make a huge amount of difference to your space. The main reason for this is that it adds both color and vibrancy. If you find it hard to mow your lawn then you’re not alone. It’s difficult to find the time and energy to get the lawnmower out when you have a never-ending list of things to do. One way for you to work around this would be for you to hire a gardener. They will weed your garden for you and they will also add fertilizer, so you can keep everything looking great for the following months.

Add some Low-Maintenance Flowers

Another thing you can do is add some low-maintenance flowers. Incorporating flowers in your garden is a bit of a no-brainer. Peonies, marigolds and even geraniums are all ideal here, and they work with small spaces very well. If you have a patio then consider adding some of these in pots around it so you can make everything pop nicely. You can also buy allium bulbs, as this is a great way for you to make your space friendly to wildlife.

Give your Fence a Coat of Paint

Another thing you can do is give your fence a coat of paint. When you add a coat of paint to your fence, you will soon find that your garden looks bigger and brighter. When it comes to the fence, it’s wise to pressure-wash it first. This will remove any dirt from the woodwork and it will also help it to look cleaner.  As if that wasn’t enough, it gives you a good base to paint from in the future. If you want to make painting your fence faster then use a spray painter, as this will evenly distribute the paint and make it look great for years to come.

Incorporate Shade

If your garden gets a lot of sun then it is a good idea for you to incorporate shade where possible. If you don’t incorporate shade then you may find that you struggle to make your garden look as good as it could. A good-looking garden is all about balance, so make sure that you have a sunny spot with a few chairs, and that you also have somewhere you can retreat to if the sun’s rays get too much. This is the best way for you to transform your garden, as it gives you an excuse to invest in a parasol or even a shaded garden swing. Improvements like this are both cheap and easy, so keep that in mind.
