The summer brings plenty of opportunity for everyone to take advantage of the nice, warm weather and enjoy their garden. In this article, we are going to explore different, creative ways to transform your garden into a perfect paradise, all while catching the eyes of friends, family, and potential buyers.

Add water features

Elements of water in a summer garden create a serene feel. Add water features that serve a purpose as well as looking pretty, like an elegant bird bath and feeder, to attract wildlife and songbirds that create harmonies in your garden.

Create defined areas  

Introduce defined areas in your garden by installing pathways, hedges, or elevations, such as a pergola, creating a secluded, shaded area perfect for dining. A pergola is a great way to add value to your home without needing planning permission, as you can add infrastructure under 2.5 metres high.

Introduce outdoor mood lighting

On summer evenings, light up your garden by adding solar lights along your outdoor pathways, creating an inviting appearance. Draw attention to specific areas you favour; use uplighters to highlight walls, trees, and enclosed cosy spaces, giving your garden more depth.
Produce a different atmosphere with a firepit or fake flame, as they generate warmth and colour in your garden, creating a cosy vibe.

Create perfect privacy  

Privacy is an important selling point in a garden, as people want their own private oasis. Replace fences with tall-growing plants, living walls, or floral bushes to create a more secluded, cosy outdoor space, and the natural greenery will soften your overall garden look.  

Add colour through mother nature  

Add a pop of colour to your garden by simply adding flowers. You can achieve this by using hanging baskets, plant pots, and flower beds. You can also use vertical gardening, giving you endless possibilities for adding splashes of colour everywhere and transforming boring fences and walls into a luscious green and floral appearance.

Turning your garden into an incredible oasis is a rewarding endeavour that enhances both the beauty and functionality of your outdoor space. With these creative ideas, you can enjoy your incredible summer garden and make it a focal point when selling your home.
