If you’ve just moved home, chances are you’re on a tight budget – but how do you make a start on the new garden with just the basics? It can seem like a daunting challenge, but it’s a rewarding one too, and with a few small changes you can soon have a garden you’d be proud to show off to family, friends and new neighbours!

Starting over

If the garden is simply too overgrown, your best bet may be to simply dig the whole lot up and start again. While that may sound drastic, it’s a great way of turning over the soil and getting a proper look at the space you’ve got available, rather than wasting time and money trying to make things grow in poor conditions.

Paving

A small outdoor paving feature like a path running through the garden or a simple patio area will give your garden some depth, and while you may not be able to afford something extravagant, a few statement pieces like these available from Topps Tiles are enough to create a more “landscaped” look. It’s easy to place and maintain, making it the ideal choice for a quick update!

Decoration

Brighten the garden up a little with some of your own personal touches. Garden gnomes and wind chimes are all very well, but try instead stone ornaments or mosaic murals on the wall, for dramatic features which create a focal point. Paint the wall facing onto the house for an instant lift and add some outdoor lighting for a cosier, modern feel.
