Solar-powered lighting
Create an ambience in your outdoor space with solar-powered lighting. These lights can illuminate your paths, decking and patios beautifully, ensuring evening parties don’t have to end once the sun sets.
Solar-powered lights can typically last up to four years and are self-sustaining, meaning you won’t have to worry about plugging them into your mains or replacing batteries every time they die. Not only will this save you some money in the long term, but it’s a far more environmentally friendly option too.
Sustainable plant pots
Plants look great in any garden and you can choose more eco-friendly options to put them in. Planters made from recycled materials are an obvious choice but if you want a truly unique look, why not repurpose everyday objects like old tyres or wine racks? This can create an eye-catching plant display and shouldn’t cost you the world to do.
Upcycle garden furniture
Instead of buying brand-new garden furniture at high costs, why not consider upcycling used items? While these used pieces may look well past their prime, you can easily restore them to their former glory with a bit of care and attention.
Browse sites like Facebook Marketplace to find cheap or free used furniture and use tools to restore them to create excellent-looking, eco-friendly garden furniture.
Water features
Trickling water features can turn your outdoor space into a relaxing sanctuary for all to enjoy. What’s more, it has plenty of benefits to local wildlife too as it can attract plenty to your outdoor space, creating a healthy ecosystem right on your doorstep.
Whichever features you opt for, we’re confident it can make your home greener and elevate its overall look. Get started today and be ready for when spring rolls around.
