We may be well into summer, but there’s still time to give your garden a mini makeover to get it looking its best for your last few family BBQs. No need to splash out – we’ve put together a list of quick and easy ways to spruce up your garden on a budget.
We’ve teamed up with Wickes to bring you a few easy ways to get your garden looking fresh and renewed without spending a fortune. In fact, everything on the list can be yours for under £50, or even less with one of Savoo’s Wickes deals! Plus, every time you use one of our Wickes discount codes you’ll be raising extra donations for Alzheimer’s Research UK. Even better, you could be in with a chance of winning an amazing £100 Wickes gift card. You’ll have to keep reading to find out how…
Redo the lawn
With the summer heat, it doesn’t take much for the lawn to start looking scorched and unhappy. Try using some Evergreen Lawncare for a strong, healthy lawn to protect it from the sun, as well as from all your family and friends when they’re enjoying your garden party.
Alternatively, if you’re in a hurry and your lawns already taken on too much damage, why not start fresh with some Rolawn grass turf. At just £6.99 per square metre, your garden will look brand new in a jiffy with this hard-wearing, low-maintenance turf.
Savoo’s Picks:
Time spent: 1 – 3 hours
Evergreen Complete 4in1 Lawn Care Tub – £10
Rolawn Grass Turf Roll – £6.99
Define your flower beds
Once your lawn’s looking its best, why not add a little something to your flower beds to make them look defined and neat? Wickes has plenty of budget-friendly wooden edging which can transform your flowerbeds in no time at all.
For a sweet, classic cottage feel, pick up some of the picket fence style borders for just £6, or try something a little more modern like these Rowlinson timber sleepers for just £10 per 1.2m. They’re incredibly quick and easy to put down and will give your garden an instant touch of clean, cool design.
Savoo’s Picks:
Time spent: 1-2 hours
Wickes Timber Picket Fence Style Border Edging – £6
Rowlinson Timber Sleepers – £10
Create a new pebble path or feature
Add some structure and design to your garden in a flash with some decorative gravel. Grab some classic gravel for just £3, or some stylish modern slate chippings for just £8 depending on your style. Combine this with some flower bed edging logrolls to create an easy garden path for under £20, or maybe a stylish rock garden full of trendy cacti and aloe plants.
Or why not use some decorative stones and pebbles to create an eye-catching artistic feature to make your garden really stand out? Let your imagination run wild and get creative.

Wickes Reed Garden Screening – £13
Add a lick of paint
You don’t have to completely tear up your deck or put in a new fence – sometimes all it takes is a splash of colour or some fresh treatment to get your wooden furniture and fences looking like new. For a natural look, add some wood stain to your deck to protect it from the elements and give it a breath of new life. Or why not go bold by opting for a bright, exciting colour to make your fence, deck or even garden furniture look vibrant and eye-catching?
Savoo’s Picks:
Time spent: 2 hours
Wickes Quick Drying Woodstain – £12.50

Give your plants room to climb
Once your wooden fence and garden furniture are looking their best, why not add a trellis to hide any walls and give your plants more room to grow? A classic Wickes trellis costs as little as £17.50 and will give a great new focal point to what used to be a boring corner of the garden.
Or if you feel like spending a little more, pick up one of these elegant willow obelisks to add some extra decoration which is practical, natural and elegant. Imagine a stunning rose, blooming Clematis or sweet-smelling Jasmine climbing up them for a picturesque, lush setting for you to relax in.
Savoo’s Picks:
Time spent: 20 minutes
Heavy Duty Fan Trellis Autumn Gold – £17.50
Forest Garden Concentric Willow Obelisk (pack of 2) – £30.50
Same plant, new pots
Speaking of plants – why not give them a new home while adding some more decoration to your garden? Grab a few hanging baskets for just £2.50 each or some elegant and colourful basic pots for just £3 each. For a country-chic look, try the oakwood effect plant pots for £6, or go really rustic and add a unique twist to your planting by upcycling some old bits and bobs to make free flowerpots.
You can really get creative with this – after all, anything can be refashioned into a flowerpot, and it’s free! Old teacups, jars, watering-cans or even old boots can make the perfect new home for your favourite plants or fresh cuttings.
Savoo’s Picks:
Time spent: 30 minutes
Growers Hanging Basket – £2.50
Stewarts Essentials Planter – £2
Oakwood Effect Plant Pot – £6
Add some new life
Although it may be too late to grow anything new from scratch, you can still pick up a few new plants pre-grown to fill those gaps and make your garden look really thriving with life. A blackberry or raspberry bush will only set you back £9.99, with a gooseberry bush only costing £12.99 – though you’ll have to wait until next year to try their fresh fruit.
Take a look at Wickes’ plants and shrubs to add a dash of extra colour and foliage to your garden. Or if you’re thinking ahead, take some cuttings of your favourite plants and plant them around your flowerbeds ready for next year. Don’t forget to treat them to the best feed with this multi-purpose compost!
Savoo’s Picks:
Time spent: 30 minutes
Unwins Xenia Gooseberry Bush – £10.99

Add a little light
Make sure your guests can admire the flowers well into those long summer evenings by illuminating the garden with some garden lights. These twinkling fairy lights are solar-powered and can be yours for just £4.99. Hang them on trees, bushes, on the trellis or around your garden furniture for added ambience to a magical summer evening.
Or light up the whole garden with these sleek modern solar-powered spotlights. Stick them straight into the ground to provide you with hours of light for just £3.99 each.

We haven’t changed our garden since we moved in 3 years ago – it desperately needs some love!
I would gut out the overgrown borders in our front garden, put down some slate chippings and pop some flower pots on top.
I would also create a little herb garden by the back door with rosemary, thyme and mint.
Last but not least I would lay down a new patio, as our current one is very wonky!!

The lower patio definitely needs some TLC it needs to be pulled up and relaid as it’s become uneven and the weeds like to grow up through which are difficult to keep down. The slabs are still good and are looking lovely and weathered so can be recycled. I’d like to create some new raised flower beds to define the area between the lawn and the upper patio area. Another job to complete by the autumn is to repaint the summer house and teak oil the chairs.

Some great ideas. For us I’d love to grow more veg and salad at home.

Less waste and pick what you need for that day

We have a hedge in our back garden which backs on to a pub car park. When we moved in it was great and gave us a lot of privacy but now it is driving me mad. It is a mixture of hawthorn, holly and dreadful weeds and brambles which have grown through from the pub car park and makes it look very untidy. The hedge is around 6ft tall and brambles are growing out of the top of it. It is a struggle to keep on top of it and the pub never bother trimming their side, so it is always left to us. Our neighbours on both sides have fences, so I would like to get rid of this awful hedge and replace it with a fence so that I can decorate it with plant holders, bird feeders etc and make it look far more attractive.

I have a lovely big garden but it looks rather plain and boring, I would like to give it some character with my family so we could sit in it and enjoy it more, All we seem to have in it at the moment is pretty grass and a holy tree.

My garden is a mess
Causes me so much stress
We need flowers in our beds
Yellow,pink and reds
The shed is full of rot
From rain and hail and whatnot
So we need to start from scratch
Or perhaps make a vegetable patch.
