garden renovations

Whether you are preparing to plant a new vegetable garden, doing a complete garden renovation overhaul or simply completing a landscaping project, it’s easy to go over your budget if you don’t plan the work accordingly. As with any financial planning, you’ll need to decide what part of your project is an upfront necessity and how you will complete your revamping goals without cutting any corners. Here are some tips that we have come up with that will help you save money. Shop: LED Garden Lights.

Transform rather than toss

At the start of any home or garden renovation project, it’s so easy to want to get in and rip everything out in order to begin the process from scratch. However, many things have the ability to be repurposed and used again in a more functional way. For example, old fence pickets can be used to make a beautiful, new gate for your garden.

Swap your bulk supply of plants

If you want to save money on buying fresh flowers, maybe consider swapping with a friend or neighbor? If you have an overgrown flower bed that possesses an extra-large quantity of the same plant species, dig some of it up and exchange it for something different. Talk about sharing your resources!

Build a temporary pathway

Paving, regardless of the size of the space, is always an expensive element that can dig deep into any reasonable spending budget. For this reason alone, it is best to keep paving renovations to a minimum. If you can’t afford fine stone or brick right away, lay out the pathway with something cheaper that can act as a placeholder pea gravel works well for this. Not to mention, unpaved areas will allow for more water drainage. Shop Led Walkway Lights.

Invest in LED lighting

LED light bulbs only use a fraction of the energy of incandescent bulbs, although up-front they are a larger investment. When you are budgeting to revamp your outdoor space, consider purchasing more energy efficient lighting, rather than the usual on-sale lightbulbs. Yes, you will pay a little more for LEDs, but given that you pay a monthly energy bill, you could consider that money saved on energy as an increase to your redesign budget. It’s a little give and take!

Mix and match

The beauty about having a comfortable, outdoor space is that it is your oasis that can be personalized to your desires. If you require a new set of patio furniture, consider mixing and matching up the pieces in order to create a funky blend of seating possibilities. After all, your garden is your place to unwind and get creative.
