Garden makeovers for selling:

It’s so easy to forget to keep the garden tidy when you’re selling your house, especially in winter.  But potential buyers won’t be able to imagine how good it will look in the summer, if all they can see now is a mess.  Remove empty plant pots, jet wash patios and pathways, remove children’s toys, add some seasonal colour with a few suitable plants etc and make a good impression.

Garden makeovers for yourself:

Just like a home makeover, there are many things to consider when improving your garden.  The budget is the starting point. For a larger project, do your research first – consider who would like to use the garden, how often, what for, and when. Check where the sun falls at different times of day, check the type of soil etc and draw out any ideas first.  For a general makeover, take a good long look at what you want to keep, what you want to remove, and have a good declutter and clean-up, before adding a few new finishing touches. For a full redesign of the garden, you may need to consider bringing the experts in, but still do your research before the consultation, so that the results can be taken into consideration.

Here are some examples of our garden makeovers – these are mainly to help with the sale of a property:
