It’s a great excuse to work on DIY to-do-lists that may have been gathering dust and give your home a new look.

Plants

Now is a great time to deadhead plants, move around if necessary and also plant new foliage in your garden.

Plants such as marigolds are perfect for planting during June and will offer you a colourful lawn throughout the summer months. Planting bedding plants is much easier now that mornings are frost free – whether in hanging baskets or in your garden.

Make sure you childproof your garden

Younger children tend to have a lot of outdoor toys left scattered all over the lawn, making it harder to tidy up once playtime is over. Investing in a garden playhouse is a great idea as it gives children their own little space in the outside world that they can look after and decorate.

PLUS… it is a great storage place to hide outdoor toys when not in use! Ensure you childproof your garden to ensure safety for your young family.

Artificial Grass is easy to look after

Fed up of mowing lawns? Then artificial grass maybe your ideal solution! Beyond the initial outlay, there are so many benefits from not having to mow lawns come rain or shine.

No weeding and always having an immaculate lawn for when unexpected guests turn up! Being low maintenance is part of the reason that artificial grass is proving so popular, no matter the size of garden.

Maintain your decking

If you have decking in your garden, or simply fence panels, now is the perfect time to treat and paint them.

With the sun shining, any treatments or paintwork will dry quicker, allowing you to use your decking sooner. Despite the fact decking is made from weather resistant materials, maintain often so that it does not deteriate in quality.

I hope these hints have given you some inspiration on how you can spruce up your garden for the summer and beyond!
