Outside shading specialists share their top tips for how to get more from your garden
New plants
Perhaps the most obvious change that you can make in a garden is to plant something new. Whether you're interested in flowers, plants or trees, there are plenty of affordable options at every garden centre, and adding new plants to a garden can introduce colour. Climbing plants such as wisteria and clematis can be weaved around outdoor structures, too.
Patio covers
A patio cover or gazebo can provide somewhere to sit in your garden when the weather starts warming up. More than this though, patio covers can transform the entire look of your garden and provide a focal point to your space. They also offer shading and somewhere for pets to sit in hot weather.
Herb garden
Whilst planting new flowers can add colour to your garden, planting herbs has a practical use as well as an aesthetic one. A herb garden is useful for anyone who enjoys cooking from scratch, and it can be nice for children to have as a gardening project in the corner of a garden.
LED lighting
Just because it's outside, it doesn't mean you can't decorate your garden with lighting! Fairy lights along your fence or in trees can add beauty to a back garden, but have you ever considered LED lighting on garden awnings, patio awnings or even outdoor structures like gazebos? The world is your oyster, and lights can quite literally brighten up your garden and make it feel like another room of your house.
Seating
Your garden is meant to be enjoyed so by investing in high quality seating, you can sit back and relax in the comfort of the outdoors. Folding chairs, garden sofas and even hammocks - providing you have the trees! - can all transform your garden and give you somewhere to sit under your awning in the shade and enjoy the space.
