As the cold weather begins to warm up it won’t be long before you notice the first signs of Spring, so it’s never too early to get prepared. Use the winter months to get a head start on making your outside space neat, thriving and an area that can be enjoyed throughout Spring and Summer. All you need is some essential gardening supplies and you’re ready!

Here are some of the top ways to prepare your garden for Spring.

Keep the grass tidy

During Autumn and Winter, you may have left your grass to grow wild if you haven’t been spending time outside - this is a common situation for many homeowners. In preparation for making the most of your garden during the warmer months, it’s a good idea to invest in a new lawnmower so you can tend to your grass more easily.

Work on your flower beds

If you have a compost bin that’s been maturing throughout Winter, the lead up to Spring is the perfect time to put the soil to good use. The bottom layer of your compost is probably in excellent condition so turn it over and spread it across your flower beds - this will create an amazing place for your new bulbs to thrive.

Plant some summer bulbs

There’s nothing better than seeing new flowers pop up in Spring, so if you haven’t planted some already what are you waiting for? Colourful blooms will brighten up your flower beds and make your garden every more lovely as the weather gets nicer. Plus, a day of early Spring planting will make these winter days feel that little bit less gloomy.

Clean your garden furniture and stone flooring

It’s time to give your garden furniture a good clean before Spring. Dust off the cobwebs and clean off any debris that has accumulated over the last year so your furniture is in great condition when you are able to sit outside again. Also, don’t forget to jetwash your patio area and stone paths to remove mould and dirt.
