Plan to spend time in your garden this summer
Whether you have a huge outdoor living space or just a small yard, there are many things that you can do to inspire you to get outdoors.
With a little time, a few supplies and some creativity, you can make a beautiful outdoor living area that will bring your family together and be the envy of all your neighbours.
From do-it-yourself pergolas to benches and outdoor furniture, you are sure to find the ideal project. Many simple ideas can be done in a weekend so now the summer is here, head outside and begin creating your dream relaxation area that will be a hit with guests and give you a wonderful place to relax and unwind at the end of the day.
Pergolas are the epitome of outdoor living and relaxation. While this structure won’t help you to ward off rain or keep the sun out of your eyes, it does make your home look more attractive.
A gazebo is a wonderful place to sit
and relax, visit with friends or host barbecues. Once it’s built, you can stain or paint it any colour and have a wonderful place to chill out.
While you may not want to relax inside
your garden shed, just knowing that you have a secure place to store all those garden tools will give you peace of mind. And it keeps the garden clutter-free.
After cutting the grass and watering the flowers, it’s time to take a well- earned rest. How about treating yourself to a sun lounger or swing seat where you can sip your gin and tonic and watch the sun go down.
High traffic areas across the lawn can look worn or shabby so smarten them up with a pathway or patio. The

cheapest and easiest way is to place a trail of stepping stones in the grass. It could lead to a decking or flagstone patio, providing an outdoor space for that all-important barbecue and dining set. Invest in a canopy or awning to provide a cool shady area for your house, patio or terrace. Now that you have a beautiful outdoor space, frame it with some great fencing or trellis. There are many styles to suit your garden design.
All you need to do now is pour a cool drink, sit back and enjoy your handiwork.
