7 Affordable Ways to Transform Your Outdoor Space

By Peerform · On June 23, 2021


If you’re looking to update your garden and give it a modern touch, there are plenty of ways to do so. You don’t have to spend thousands completely renovating your garden. There are several ways you can transform your outdoor space that are easy and affordable.

1. Place Down a Patio

If you feel like your garden is looking bare and bland, getting a patio or decking placed down is a great way to give it a brand-new lease of life.

If you have existing decking that is looking a bit worse for wear, consider replacing it or getting any damage repaired. This is an affordable way to revamp your outdoor space.

2. Add a Vegetable Patch

Adding a vegetable patch to your garden enables you to grow your own produce. It’s a cheaper and healthier alternative to buying your groceries from the store. Not only this, but it’s a fun activity for the whole family to enjoy. Having a vegetable patch in your garden can completely transform its appearance.

3. Add Lighting

Garden lighting can be an easy and affordable way to transform your outdoor space. Placing lights around your home’s exterior will keep it safe and well-lit. This is especially important during winter when the nights are longer and darker.

Lighting makes all the difference to the look and feel of your garden too. Adding spotlights around your garden or using hanging lights can make it look bright and homely.

4. Lay Down a Lawn

If you’re fed up with having a concrete garden, you might enjoy laying down a lawn. A beautiful lawn is a great place to enjoy summer BBQs or picnics with the whole family. They can be expensive to get laid, but you can always grow your own lawn down from seed to save money.

5. Plant Some Flowers

Planting some colourful flowers can brighten up any outdoor space. You can plant some seeds and grow them yourself or buy pre-arranged bunches of flowers from the florist. There are so many varieties of plants available, many of which look and smell incredible.

Planting and growing flowers is a great summer activity for you and your children to enjoy together. It gets everybody out into the fresh air and away from the computer screens!

6. Power Wash the Driveway

When the tiles or cobbles are dirty, it can make the front of your house look dark and drab. Using a machine to power wash your driveway can give your whole outdoor space a new sparkle.

7. Paint the Fence

Your outdoor space can be completely transformed in just a few hours with a lick of paint. Whether you want to paint over the existing colour of the wood or try something new, it’s an easy way to give the exterior of your house a makeover. You can either do this job yourself, invite your kids to help out, or outsource it to a local gardener.
