Is your garden feeling a little outdated or in need of some TLC? Don’t panic. There’s still plenty of time to transform your outside spaces with a modern makeover in time for summer.
Before starting, though, it’s imperative that you select the right projects to unlock the full potential of your garden. Here are five that will inject a modern touch to add value to your property and daily life alike.
Install an artificial lawn
Most homeowners get excited about the prospect of completing a garden makeover. However, the thought of maintaining the backyard space is far more daunting. Given that mowing the grass is one of the biggest challenges, an artificial lawn could be the ideal choice. It saves you from the hassle of mowing every few weeks. Better still, the garden retains a beautiful look throughout the year. It can also remove any safety issues of unkempt grass.
The fact you don’t need to store a lawn mower is a nice additional incentive too.
Get a modern fence
Upgrading to slatted fencing isn’t only a project that gives your garden an ultra-modern look. It also fits in with the desire for an eco-friendly home. As a sturdy layer of protection from intruders and adverse weather, it’s a very practical choice too. A slatted wooden fence also fits with virtually any aesthetic. So, it can be used to enhance the current aesthetic or provide the foundation for building a new one. Either way, the new fence can deliver years of joy.
You could also use a similar design for the fascia of your building.
Build a garden room
While we all love the outside spaces, there is a modern trend for building garden rooms too. They solve a host of problems, especially if your home feels too small or if you now work from home. Whether it becomes an office or a home bar is entirely up to you. Either way, this standalone structure brings the backyard into 2025. It’ll also add some serious value to the property while you could easily update the design at a later date if desired.
It’s also a project that most DIY enthusiasts can complete without an expert.
Install an ice bath
Swimming pools are seen as the ultimate garden luxury, but they are expensive and take up a lot of space. A hot tub has often been seen as the next best solution, although most people won’t use them that often. Therefore, it may be better to install an ice bath. They take up minimal space and can deliver huge health benefits. They can be used by several family members for various purposes, and can easily integrate into daily lifestyles.
They are a very affordable garden upgrade too.
Decking accessories
Millions of homes already have a deck or patio. However, homeowners often miss out on the full capabilities due to a lack of accessories. A heater and a lamp can keep the entertainment going long into the evening. Meanwhile, comfy seating and a table allow you to enjoy meals out on the deck. If you also invest in a garden pizza stove and a mini fridge, the convenience will reach an all-time high. Shaded coverage is another useful addition.
It makes the garden modern, practical, and more enjoyable. Perfect.
