Exterior Painting
We say it time and time again – a fresh coat of paint can completely transform a space! With warmer weather just around the corner, now is the perfect time to refresh the exterior of your home and the spaces in your yard.
-
- House: Whether it’s a full exterior repaint or a touch-up, a fresh coat of paint will refresh and modernise your home’s appearance. It also provides essential protection against the elements, helping to prevent weathering and damage.
-
- Fence: Revive your fence with a fresh colour that complements your home’s colour scheme. Making it blend seamlessly into the landscape or making it a standout feature.
-
- Deck: A newly painted or stained deck not only looks great but also provides essential protection from the elements, ensuring longevity and a great finish. Now is the best time to do this, getting your deck ready for the time of year it’s used the most.
-
- Shed: Sheds don’t need to be boring, transform it by painting it to complement your garden or making it a feature on its own.
Create a Relax Space
Turn any outdoor corner into a space to just sit back and relax. Set up a comfortable seating area and define the space by framing it with grass, pebbles or pavements. This addition to your yard can make it usable throughout the day and for gatherings in the warmer months coming up. For comfort and practicality, add an umbrella or a shade sail to shield the area from direct sunlight.
Add Raised Garden Beds
Raised garden beds are a perfect way to transform your yard when you’re on a budget, adding both functionality and visual appeal. They can be used to create defined spaces that can frame seating spaces or create borders along pathways and fences. Some options are landscaping timbers, natural stones, concrete blocks and steel.
Replace your clothesline
Free up valuable garden space by swapping out your bulky rotary hoist for a sleek, retractable or wall-mounted fold-down clothesline.
- Space-Saving: Mounted clotheslines can be installed on walls, fences, or even balconies. Making them perfect for smaller gardens or outdoor areas where space is limited or can be saved.
- Unobtrusive: These clotheslines can be easily folded away when not in use, instantly opening up your outdoor area and giving it a cleaner, more spacious feel.
- Budget Friendly: Compared to rotary hoists, mounted clotheslines are more affordable to purchase and install, offering a cost-effective solution without compromising on functionality.
Add Some Hanging/Wall Plants
Include your favourite plants to your outdoor area. By hanging them from your pergola roof or mounting them on your patio wall, it’s a great way to maximise space while still adding greenery to your outdoor area.
Create a Stepstone path
Whether it’s a muddy area up the side of your house, a frequently walked path in the backyard, or additional kerbside appeal for your front door access, creating a step stone path offers a practical way to navigate your yard. With various materials available, you can easily match the path to your home’s style while allowing it to fit your budget, making it a practical yet attractive addition to any outdoor space.
Outdoor Lighting
Outdoor lighting is an easy, inexpensive and impactful way to transform your outdoor space. The right lighting can extend the usability of your outdoor space well into the evening, making it perfect for relaxation or entertaining.
- String Lights: These are easy to install and can be draped across a patio or hung from trees to create an atmosphere perfect for evening gatherings.
- Solar Powered Garden Lights: An eco-friendly and easy-to-install option to illuminate pathways, garden beds and seating areas without increasing your energy bill.
- Lanterns: Add a rustic touch to your backyard with a battery-operated or solar-powered lantern. These are easy to move around so they’re versatility means their use can be changed over time to suit how you want to use your yard.
- Spotlights: These can be used to highlight a feature in your yard, such as a tree, fountain or they can be used as a security element.
Add a Firepit Area
From permanent installations to small portable fire pits, this is an exciting way to transform the way you use your outdoor space.
- Portable Firepits: Lightweight and easy to transport around your yard providing warmth and ambiance wherever you need it. Many models are affordable and come in various styles, making it easy to find one that complements your space and budget.
