Today, I’m sharing gardening advice on ideas for garden makeovers. If you don’t have a green thumb, keeping your garden looking beautiful can feel impossible. However, getting and maintaining a gorgeous garden doesn’t have to be a struggle.
There are a few simple things that you can do to give your garden a new lease on life, without having to put in hours of work.
Ideas for Garden Makeovers:
- Paint some flower pots – This is an great way to add a pop of color to the garden. Remove any dirt and residue from the pots. Having a clean base is imperative for the paint to stick. Paint your pots any color that you like. Here’s a suggestion, how about painting the pots in one color and using a stencil with another color to add fun designs? Ask your children to help you. Here’s a kid-friendly garden project. To make your design last, cover them with an acrylic sealant.
- Trim back any trees – If you have trees in your garden that are getting out of control, call in a professional. They will be able to safely trim any trees without risk for you. A good trim will make the trees look better and get rid of any loose branches that might fall and cause damage.
- Refresh the shed – If your shed is looking worn out and tired, you can simply correct this with a coat of exterior paint or stain. Add another color hit by choosing a treatment in a bright or pastel hue. You could also stencil on fun designs, like plants or birds.
- Refresh your garden furniture – While you’re painting your shed, give your wood garden furniture a coat as paint well. Choose a color that makes you smile and goes with the rest of your garden.
- Repair your fencing – If you’ve had bad weather over the winter, some of your fence panels may have gotten damage or fallen over. If so, hire a fence contractor to repair or replace broken or fallen panels. You may also need to reinforce your fence posts. If there’s not much rot, you can reinforce the post with a concrete spur. If there is a lot of rot, you might need a new post. When the weather is dry, give the fence a fresh coat of paint or wood stain.
Additionally, you can make garden decorations. This is another place for kids to get involved with the garden. Even during winter, there are things you can do to cheer up the garden. Paint rocks in different and fun shades for the rock or flower beds. If you have stepping stones in a path, paint those. Buy a pretty bird or insect house, and give it to the kids to decorate. The goal is to garden together. A fairy garden, is a great idea. We could all use a little magic in the garden.
