Caring for your garden can often feel like a chore, which is why you might avoid maintenance and repairs as much as possible. Thankfully, creating a beautiful outdoor space doesn’t need to cost you a considerable amount of time, hard work or money.

If you want to transform your exterior in 2019, make sure you read the following six simple ideas for updating your garden.

1. Choose Low Maintenance Flowers

Do you want to enjoy a beautiful garden without all the hard work? Plant low maintenance flowers into your exterior, which will require next to no effort. For example, to create a gorgeous, hassle-free garden, add azaleas into a shaded area with moist soil, and the flowers will care for themselves. Once next spring arrives, lay down some mulch and remove dead flowers, and they will bloom once again.

2. Plant Beautiful Trees

Trees can transform the look of your garden, as they will add height, privacy, and beauty into your exterior design. Plus, the inexpensive additions are almost maintenance free, as you will need to water the tree once planted and continue to do so until it is two years old, and it will then care for itself.

3. Build a Pond

If you want to fall in love with your garden every time you look at it, consider building a pond. Not only can it boost your property’s kerb appeal, but it can also help create a relaxing space while providing a home for fish or wildlife. Plus, you can make your pond appear both stylish and sophisticated by adding a pond lighting system from www.water-garden.co.uk.

4. Lay Artificial Grass

If the thought of mowing your grass during spring or summer fills you with dread, consider laying down artificial grass instead. You will be able to enjoy a bright green lawn throughout the year without worrying about watering, weeding or mowing your grass.

However, you will first need to:

  • Remove your current turf

  • Apply a layer of sand

  • Develop an even surface

  • Lay down a shock-absorbent material

  • Cut the artificial grass to the shape you desire

  • Lay the grass and brush sand onto the top

5. Hang Outdoor Fairy Lights

Hanging outdoor fairy lights can be a fast, simple and inexpensive way to transform your exterior design. Not only will they make your garden appear welcoming and pretty, but the flexible lighting can be hung across shrubs or tree branches, or can be attached to furniture or fencing.

6. Paint Your Fence

Bring a dull fence back to life by giving it a much-needed lick of paint. You will first need to sand it down before applying an undercoat or primer, and then add a fresh coat of paint. You also can avoid applying a boring brown by searching for various colours at a local DIY shop, which can make your garden appear bright and attractive.

By following the above simple tips, you can create a jaw-dropping garden you’ll want to spend time in every day of the week.
