Care For Your Lawn
Your lawn is arguably one of the most important features of a garden, it’s the first thing that anyone notices when they step outside and into your garden. So to achieve an impressive garden, it’s important to start with an impressive lawn.
Spring is a crucial time for your lawn. The days are still wet but the temperature begins to rise. These are the conditions that weeds thrive in so you must keep on top of your lawn by regularly cutting, aerating and treating it (more tips on how to look after your lawn this spring).
No matter how big or small your lawn may be, keeping it looking fresh will truly help to transform your garden and help to accentuate all the other features in your garden.

Water Features
I think everyone can agree that water features are a welcomed addition to any garden. They help to create a peaceful and serene atmosphere, perfect for helping you to unwind in the sun this summer.
Water features in your garden do not have to be big nor do they have to be particularly grand. Smaller water features can create just as much of an atmosphere as the most gargantuan features. They are perfect at making you feel like you are relaxing in a beautiful foreign oasis.
