How to get your garden ready for spring

The worst of the winter is over – and spring is finally in sight! The days are getting longer, and while there’s still a little chill in the air, it’s the perfect time to start looking to the season ahead. Your first point of call? Making sure your garden is ready for all kinds of spring fun.

If you’re not sure where to start, we’ve thought of everything. Scroll on to discover our 5 favourite ways to upgrade your outdoor space in time for the sunnier season – we can’t promise it’ll be hot, but we can promise you’ll be good to go in the event of a UK heatwave…

1) Spring to Life

Prepare for a lush life with essentials that set the new season in full bloom. Think: colourful flowers, vibrant greenery and garden tools to curate the most tranquil outdoor space that suits your taste.

2) Tidy Up

Every garden deserves a little TLC – and we’ve got everything you need to give it the spring clean treatment. Trim, chop & tidy every corner with high-power lawnmowers, hedge trimmers & storage solutions that suit your vibe. DIY doesn’t have to be difficult, and these tools make it as easy as possible.

3) Hosting & Entertaining Upgrades

Springtime hosting sets the tone for the summer ahead – and this is your sign to get a headstart. Gather the whole family for sunny days and balmy nights, with complete dining sets, quality BBQs and outdoor entertainment for kids and grown-ups alike. We’ve got the best to bring the fun for hours on end.

4) Don’t Forget the Personal Touches

The mood is the most important part. Create a tranquil retreat with calming décor like water features, fire pits & soft furnishings, or a romantic ambience with the perfect mood lighting, seating & hot tubs – the choice is yours!

5) Sun Trap: Maximised

British sunshine might be rare – but it pays to be prepared for those elusive heatwave days. Working on your tan? You need the perfect sun lounger set-up to put your comfort first while you relax the day away. Just don’t forget your sun protection!
