The digital age in which we live has opened the doors to a desire to spend more time outside, even if we only get as far as our back garden! In order to help really make the most of your outside space, no matter how big or small, take inspiration from these tips and tricks to leave you with a outdoor haven so beautiful, you won't want to go back inside!

Our range of garden aggregates such as coloured slate or patterned cobbles are the perfect way to add a bit of colour to your pathways and flowerbeds. Covering your topsoil with these materials not only adds a beautiful texture to the area, it also protects your expensive topsoil from being blown away by wind, or over-drenched by heavy rain. Choose colours that complement your plants for a uniform appearance, or alternatively, contrast them entirely for an energetic feature.

Another way to brighten up a simple component found in your garden is to add colour to your existing fence panels. This is a gardening trick that has really taken off in the past year, with many taking inspiration from European trends of blue and even black fencing for a contemporary style. Alternatively, choose a deep terracotta for your fences in order to set a Mediterranean tone in your English garden. Colours such as these add a real contrast with the rest of your garden, turning your fence into a feature as opposed to just providing a boundary. Another trick to beautify your fencing or even your shed is to add a trellis. A trellis is the perfect way to add a little bit of pattern and texture, as well as height in less private gardens. To add texture and colour, plant climbers that will lace themselves into your new trellis!
