Something that we all love is summer. Summer is the time of the year where we can load up on vitamin D and hang out in the sun with all of our friends. Up until summer, it is not uncommon for people to let their garden go a bit. When you aren’t spending much time in your garden, it feels as though there is no reason why you should put the time into making it look good. However, if you neglect your garden for the whole year then you have to spend the start of summer getting it ready. Here are 6 ways that you can transform your garden before next summer.
Add New Seating
Something that we can all agree on is that we never seem to have enough seating in the garden for our guests. There is always the case that someone has to bring a chair in from inside the house and this can be very annoying, so be sure that you have plenty of comfortable outdoor seating that you can use for your guests. Make sure that you have covers for this furniture during the bad weather periods.
Create a Fire Pit
There is nothing better than having a few drinks in the garden on a summer evening, but even in the hottest weather, it can start to get pretty chilly at night time. If you want to ensure that you can stay warm during the summer nights, something that I would suggest is making or buying a fire pit. A fire pit is a must have for every garden and it will ensure that you can stay warm during the cold nights. Fire pits are really easy to make and you will be thankful that you did.
Add Some Nice Lighting
Though it stays light much longer in the summer, you still have to deal with the night coming in. If you are hanging out with your friends, you do not want it to get too dark, otherwise you will feel the need to head indoors early. To ensure that you can continue to head out in the evening, be sure that you have lighting to allow this. If you do not want to spend too much on electricity, I would definitely suggest that you get solar lights as this will allow you to keep your garden well lit at night.
Decoration
Something that a lot of people neglect to do is decorate their garden. You will make the inside of your house appear more personal and representative of your personality, so why wouldn’t your garden do the same? If you are going to be spending a lot of time in your garden during the summer, then it might as well look the way that you would like it to. If you are looking for a tasteful way to decorate your garden, I would definitely suggest that you use garden screens made with premium wood. These will add a bit of decorative flair to your garden and will also be able to last against all weather conditions.
Outdoor Heater
If you are someone that plans on spending a lot of summer outside, I would definitely suggest that you invest in an outdoor heater. Outdoor heaters are surprisingly cheap and they will ensure that you are able to enjoy your time in the garden no matter what the weather is like outside. You can get a gazebo too, as this will ensure that you can still sit outside and enjoy the weather, even if the weather isn’t as good as you would like.
BBQ Area
Something that every garden needs in the summer is somewhere that you can host a BBQ. You can buy BBQs for pretty affordable prices and they will help transform your garden into a social hub for the summer. As well as having a BBQ, something else that you should consider is having a seating and table area where people are able to eat and enjoy their BBQ food. If you do not want to spend too much money on a BBQ, something that you can do is build your very own out of brick and rail, it is actually very simple to do.
