Throughout autumn and winter, our gardens get neglected. The constant rain and wind have probably ruined your lawn and any lovely flowers that you planted last year and now it’s time to rejuvenate your garden! Gardens should be the place to relax and unwind in – especially when the sun starts to shine. Here are our top 5 tips and tricks to get your outdoor space ready for the warm weather.

1. Clean Up

First things first, it’s time to clean up. Whether that’s raking all of the leaves, cleaning your patio or just generally clearing the space, just start to make your outdoor space much clearer. This will immediately make your garden look a little brighter and less outgrown – especially if you have a lawn overrun by leaves or a patio that looks like it’s never been cleaned! Patios and driveways can be really hard to clean, especially when you’ve never done it before. We recommend Pro-Kleen’s Simply Spray Ready to Use Patio Cleaner. It transforms your outdoor surfaces back to how they looked when they were first made, without using any harsh or dangerous chemicals in the process. It’s also perfectly safe to use around pets too!

With a clean patio area and a clear lawn, you’ll start to see huge improvements in the overall appearance of your garden. Once these steps have been made, start to tidy up anything else that looks like it needs a deep clean. Whether that be garden ornaments that are now covered in mud, or even plant pots and garden furniture that’s starting to look faded and not as vibrant as they were when you once bought them.

2. Tend to Your Artificial Grass

If you’re lucky enough to have artificial grass, you’ll want to make sure it looks its best for the summer months. With the UK having horrendous floods and storms this year, it could likely need some much-needed TLC. Pro-Kleen’s Artificial Grass Cleaner will deeply clean your lawn to remove nasty stains, odours and marks – perfect for getting the vibrant green colour back.

It’s also great for pet owners. It deeply cleans and removes those urine stains and any foul odours caused by pet deposits. This means there’s no need to worry about those awful smells reappearing as the sun beams down onto your grass this summer – Pro-Kleen's Artificial Grass Cleaner will make sure the only smell you smell is the fragrance of freshly cut grass!

3. Plant Some Flowers

If you want to have your garden blooming in the spring and summer, now is the time to plant any flowers you’d like. This gives them time to grow and bloom, as well as making sure they have plenty of access to water with the amount of rain we’re still likely to see before the spring arrives. Flowers are also great for making your outdoor space look brighter and more vibrant, which if you’ve abandoned your garden in recent months will help to make it look more loved and ready for summer!

4. Add Some Stylish Furniture

Now that your garden is starting to resemble how it used to look, now is the time to invest in some quality garden furniture. Depending on the amount of space you have, choose between a bistro set or a stylish bench – perfect for those warm summer nights where you want somewhere to relax. All of our Glamhaus garden furniture is inspired by the shabby-chic aesthetic, incorporating delicate and stunning designs into comfortable and practical pieces! They’re sure to fit into any garden perfectly and make a key feature, as well as providing seating for your, your friends and family during the warmer months. They’re also now on sale, so you can find that perfect piece of garden furniture for you, at an unbeatable cost!

5. Paint Your Fence

Something that can let a lot of gardens down is the state of the fence. Over time, with harsh weather conditions and neglect, fences are likely to become discoloured and battered. With a completely new fence often costing a lot of money, a much cheaper and practical option would be to give your fence a new coat of paint! With this MYLEK paint sprayer, you can easily add a new layer of paint to a worn fence – making it look as good as new. Paint sprayers are much easier to use than a standard paintbrush, making the process much easier and faster so that you have more time to relax in your outdoor space.
