Many homeowners take great pride in designing their gardens into a place that they can relax, chill and enjoy the weather, whether it is during the summer or the winter. It can take a long time to actually build it up to the way you want, with lots of changes.
Some people will make their gardens suitable for the types of weather they might have in the country that they live in. However, it is possible to make your garden a summer paradise whilst still being used all throughout the year.
We will now discuss how you can go about this while maintaining that lovely summer look, scroll down to find out how.
Install Stone Slabs
In order to make your very own summer haven, you will need to take time and install stone slabs as pathways and decking this will be instead of wooden decks which in the winter can be damaged.
By doing this you will be able to make your decking and walking areas usable throughout the year.
Purchase Patio Furniture and Essentials
Once you have decided on a designated space for your patio or decking, you will of course need furniture, a place that you can sit down, chill out and mingle with friends or family.
The best kind would be weatherproof furniture so that it can deal with harsh winters for years to come. Some of the things you might want would be lounge chairs, high-end patio umbrella, hammock and an outdoor table.
Another addition would be to build a fire pit, so that you can enjoy those long nights and have something to keep you warm during the colder days.
Colourful Cushions and Pillows
What is Summer without bright and vibrant colours? You will want to invest in some cushions and pillows that are colourful and make you feel like you are in the summer throughout the year.
The same goes for your garden. You should consider adding some new life to your green spaces, and nothing does that better than the Pink O’Hara rose plant. This variety of rose, with its soft pink petals and heady fragrance, embodies the essence of summer perfectly, and would be a great addition to any outdoor space.
You may need a place to store them when it rains however, to keep them in good condition.
Artificial Grass
Artificial grass would be a great addition for the garden, not only does it mean that you won’t have to worry about keeping it short but it also naturally absorbs the heat meaning that it is much warmer than real grass.
This grass is also great at removing water as well as being easy to clean and get rid of excess water. This would make for a great addition all throughout the year.
Installing Outdoor Lighting
There is nothing more special than watching bright twinkling lights against the blue sky, you can add any type of lights, whether they are bright and colourful or just simple plain ones to create a fairy-like feel.
Make Your Garden Private
Even if you love your neighbours there is nothing worse than someone peeking through into your garden, be creative and think of a way to ensure your privacy while maintaining the look, maybe you can make it feel like a secluded beach.
Try to install a strong and secure fence that will keep people out as well as offer you plenty of privacy.
Landscape
A garden with great landscaping can make or break it, take your time and create your paradise, you don’t need anything over the top but making it look beautiful, well trimmed and colourful will make your garden.
Secure your belongings
This may seem like a very obvious thing, but securing your outdoor belongings is important, make sure that any tools are locked away in a shed, away from any children, pets or even thieves.
You may even want a safe place to store any loose equipment at night so that it can’t be taken away.
