Summer is officially here! Now is the time to consider updating your garden so that you have the perfect space to entertain loved ones and enjoy the sunny season. Here are our top tips:
If your garden isn’t looking summer-ready, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty. Start by getting rid of any weeds, then clear out your shed so you have space to store unwanted items and finish by mowing your lawn. These first steps will make all the difference when preparing your garden for a summer get-together.
Whether it’s planting colourful flowers, decorating with hanging baskets, or sprucing up your outdoor furniture, a pop of colour goes a long way. Visit your local garden centre and pick out your favourite colours from the selection on offer.
For patios or terraces, potted plants are the perfect way to brighten up your space. Opt for colourful plant pots and bright flowers for added impact.
While you may not want to invest in a completely new furniture set, you can update your old furniture by accessorising with colourful cushions and throws. Hanging fairy lights or lanterns will transform the ambience of any summer evening in your garden, whilst a fire pit is a perfect addition to any outdoor entertaining space.
Create your own wildlife-friendly zone in the garden by incorporating hanging birdhouses, a miniature rock garden or even a small pond. Your garden will soon come to life!
Whether your garden fence needs a fresh lick of paint or your hedge needs trimming, it’s all in the details when preparing your garden for guests. So, dust off your sun loungers and put your lawnmower away, turn on your sprinklers the night before a gathering and enjoy yourself!

We are required by law to conduct anti-money laundering checks on all those selling or buying a property. Whilst we retain responsibility for ensuring checks and any ongoing monitoring are carried out correctly, the initial checks are carried out on our behalf by Lifetime Legal who will contact you once you have agreed to instruct us in your sale or had an offer accepted on a property you wish to buy. The cost of these checks is £60 (incl. VAT), which covers the cost of obtaining relevant data and any manual checks and monitoring which might be required. This fee will need to be paid by you in advance of us publishing your property (in the case of a vendor) or issuing a memorandum of sale (in the case of a buyer), directly to Lifetime Legal, and is non-refundable. We will receive some of the fee taken by Lifetime Legal to compensate for its role in the provision of these checks.
