Here in Australia, we enjoy our summer at the peak of the summer and with only a few months remaining, now is the time to start getting the garden ready. In this short article, we offer a few cool ways to transform your backyard before summer arrives.
Artificial grass
Fed up with constantly having to mow the lawn? Make a one-time investment on premium artificial grass and enjoy your free time instead of sweating through a grass cut. Search online and view the different products, which includes a pet-friendly version. No more watering, all it needs is a leaf blow now and then to have a perfect-looking lawn that is maintenance-free.
Custom made pergolas
The best timber pergolas in Melbourne can be found with the online supplier and they have a great catalogue of top-quality units. Timber is by far the best material for a pergola and there are many design and finish options to ensure that your main garden feature is everything you hoped for, and some! A top pergola supplier can blend the unit with the architectural style of your home.
Timber decking
If you want to entertain guests over the summer, why not install a state-of-the-art deck? If you are a DIY enthusiast, you can order seasoned decking timber online and save a fortune on labour costs. The alternative option is to enlist the help of a local landscape contractor; set aside a budget and watch him (or her) transform your outdoor living space.
Vertical gardens
You may not have seen a vertical garden, which is basically a sturdy net that holds flower containers; start growing creepers and soon the wall will be covered with natural greenery. Google images can show you some amazing images of vertical gardens, which are generally used to cover a wall or the side of the house. The netting has eco-friendly plant pods and regular watering sees amazing growth; orchids are a great choice to bring some rich colour to the space. No one sees the point of a bare wall; either employ a graffiti artist or grow a vertical garden. If you are planning a Christmas or New Year bash, here are some event organising tips.
Water feature
How about a natural-looking stream that runs into a pond filled with koi carp? A stunning rockery adds some contour; a bit of plumbing and a water pump and you have a flowing water system that looks natural. You might prefer a central water fountain surrounded by pristine lawn, which has coloured LED lights when the sun goes down. A local landscape garden contractor can turn your concept into reality and if you start talking to a company soon, your water feature will be ready for the coming summer.
Summer is the season for Xmas and New Year; create outdoor living space that beckons the soul and enjoy your free time surrounded by natural beauty. Home improvement come in all shapes and sizes and summer brings the yard into play.
