4 popular garden renovations to transform your outdoor space

Gardening has always been a beloved hobby, and these days, its popularity is really… growing! More and more of us are eager to create our little outdoor space to return to (when the weather permits). Whether you have a cosy patio or a sprawling back garden or you’re simply thinking about adding some stylish fencing, there are so many fun ways to spruce up your garden. So, whether you’re already dreaming of summer BBQs, lazy afternoons, or just a little extra kerb appeal, these simple upgrades can help you create the garden you’ve always wanted.

Timber Fencing

Deck out your space

If you’ve already got yourself a stunning garden fence from us here at Welch Fencing and you’re on the hunt for the next upgrade that’s as stylish as it is practical, decking is the obvious answer. Timber decking brings a warm, natural vibe to your garden – it’s classic, while composite decking is perfect for a sleek, low-maintenance and ultra-modern finish if that’s more up your street.

Decking creates the ideal spot for summer lounging, evening drinks, or dining al fresco. You can even match it to your fencing for a seamless, coordinated look that ties your garden together beautifully. It adds undeniable kerb appeal to your home and becomes the go-to gathering spot in your garden.

Spice up your seating arrangement

Now that you’ve got your decking sorted, it’s time to think about furniture to complete the look. Say goodbye to those old green plastic chairs, and hello to something a little more stylish! From rustic rattan sets to classic wooden benches or even some luxurious cushioned loungers, there are plenty of options to suit your style and space (and budget). Garden furniture sets are surprisingly affordable these days and can truly transform your outdoor space into a functional yet beautiful retreat. Whether you’re sunbathing, enjoying a good book, sharing a meal, or catching up with friends, the right furniture will take your garden’s comfort and charm to the next level. Plus, with so many designs available, it’s never been easier to find pieces that match your decking and garden fencing and make your space feel like an extension of your home.

Add a veranda for all-weather vibes

Now that you’ve got your decking and stylish furniture sorted, it’s time to make sure you can actually use your new space no matter what the British weather has in store. Let’s face it – we love the UK, but the weather isn’t always predictable. That’s where a veranda comes in. Not only does it provide the perfect shelter for enjoying your garden come rain or shine, but it also adds a decorative touch that can elevate your space from stylish to stunning.

Dress it up with fairy lights in summer for those cosy evening vibes; for all our planet-loving readers, you can go wild with hanging baskets or simply leave it as it is. It’s yours to make your own. So whether you’re hosting a summer BBQ, sipping coffee on a rainy morning, or relaxing with a good book under the stars, you can make the most of your garden all year round – yep, even in winter. All you’ll need is a plug-in heater (and maybe a few blankets!).

Light it up

Now that your garden is shaping up, it’s time to bring it to life after dark with some well-placed lighting. You’ve worked hard to create a space you’ll love, so why not make sure you can enjoy it once the sun sets? Garden lighting isn’t just practical; it’s all about setting the right tone for the space.

If you want to brighten up the whole space and keep things lively, floor lights or built-in decking lights are a great option. For a softer, more relaxed vibe, try adding fairy lights or solar lights along your garden path – this will create a charming, relaxed atmosphere. You can even get creative and mix and match different types of lighting to achieve the perfect balance of ambience and functionality. Whether you’re looking to keep the party going or just create a cosy spot for a quiet evening with. a few friends, garden lighting will help set the mood and make your outdoor space just as inviting at night.
