In the age of glossy magazines, Instagram, and Pinterest, it’s virtually impossible to get through a day without stumbling across images of dreamy homes and gardens. If your backyard isn’t Insta-worthy just yet, you may be thinking about planning an external makeover. In this guide, we’ll share some top tips to help you execute a stress-free outdoor revamp.

Be clear about what you want

The best place to start when refreshing your backyard is to draw up a plan. Think carefully about what you want and be clear about your vision. Consider how you want to use the space as well as how you want it to look. If you go into the project knowing what you want, you can work efficiently and stick to budgets and time frames. If you’re unsure, you may change your mind, which will set you back and may cost you more, or end up with a space that doesn’t check all the boxes. 

Enlist professional help

There are many jobs you can do yourself in the garden, but it’s wise to enlist professional help if you’re embarking upon a large-scale project, you don’t have much time, you have grand plans, or you’re taking on more complex jobs. If you’re looking to create multiple levels or landscape your garden, reputable landscaping companies like https://www.greshamsinc.com/ can help. If you want to add a pool, research local firms and get several quotes. You can also get expert advice about tree removal, lawn care and adding patios, terraces, and decks. Using professional services will cost you more than doing tasks yourself, but it will save you time and effort and may produce superior results. 

Set realistic expectations

Interior design magazines and achingly cool social media feeds showcase stunning backyards in all their glory. While it’s great to get ideas and inspiration from posts and features, it can be a double-edged sword. Social media provides a rose-tinted vision and highlights the best areas of a specific space or property. It may not tell you how much the owner has spent or all the expert services they’ve used or show parts of the garden that are less impressive. When you plan your makeover, it’s crucial to have realistic expectations. Draw up a tailored plan that caters to your budget, the size of the space and your options in terms of getting professionals involved. 

Shop around

Shopping around is one of the best ways to save on furniture and features that will make your yard look incredible for less. If you see items or design concepts you love, research online and look for similar products or inexpensive ways to recreate expensive looks. There are some amazing designer dupes available, and often, styling and presentation play a pivotal role in the overall aesthetic. By browsing online, going to vintage and second-hand stores and buying used items you can upcycle, you can revamp your garden on a budget. For on-trend, affordable styling ideas, take a look at this article https://www.homesandgardens.com/gardens/budget-landscaping-ideas.
