Like with any large-scale project, you would like to complete it with the smallest possible budget… but we understand that it’s not always as easy as you may think. By making the right choices and decisions you will be able to create the perfect garden that you can admire all year round on a budget!

Allow us to provide you with some smart choices to make, and some tips on how you can make the most out of your garden this spring and summer.

Create a simple wish list with the necessities

We understand that sometimes we can all get a little bit carried away with what we would like to see in our garden. But one thing that is key to remember is that there is a difference between what you need and what you would like.

By simplifying your wish list so that it just includes the items that are needed, and you can’t be without you will find that the cost is a lot lower. If you have allocated yourself a budget and you have purchased everything you need and you have some of the money left over, you could then allocate this to some of the things you would like instead.

Choose wisely about the materials you are going to use

The materials you use are going to be key in the long run. Yes, they may be a little bit more expensive, but you don’t want to have to replace them regularly as this will mean overtime you are spending more money than you need to. By choosing quality materials to begin with you will know that the new fencing you are putting up or decking you are laying is going to last well and be worth the money you have paid for it.

Reuse and recycle

Often, many of the materials or older items that were in your garden will be able to be reused. If required, you can take up the paving slabs you had down but it doesn’t mean that you don’t have to use them anymore. You will be able to repurpose them for something whether that be steppingstones, creating a feature or just giving them a wash and them laying them back down again… think about how you can reuse them.
