Ideas for creating a great outdoor experience

Our best tip for creating an outdoor experience is to treat your garden like another room of your home rather than a separate entity to your house. Decorate your garden with attractive plants and flowers, carpet the ground with lawn or decorative stones and furnish your garden with furniture and features.

Adding solar powered lights to your garden is quick and easy way to extend the hours you can spend in your outdoor living space and pair this with a quality fire bowl or fire pit to add warmth to your evening gatherings.

A garden shed is great way to add storage to your home and utilise the outdoor space. A summerhouse is an attractive way to allow you to sit and enjoy the nature of your garden all year round. Why not add an even more natural feel to your garden with running water using one of our beautiful water features.

How do I get outdoor living ideas?

Our team are experts in outdoor living ideas. Ask us on your visit in store for some ideas and you’ll likely get a long list of practical steps to plan your outdoor living space.

Do I need planning permission for my outbuilding?

A rule of thumb generally is that if your building is less than 2.4m tall and more than 2.4m from your boundary then you should not require planning permission. We always advise to check with your local authority before purchasing a garden building for any local planning regulations.

Is solar panel lighting any good?

Solar panel lighting is a quick and easy way to add light to your garden after dark and extend the hours which you can enjoy your garden.

Are water features expensive to run?

A small water feature should cost no more than about 5p – 10p per day to run, with a medium sized feature costing about 20p per day in electricity. Most features are self contained so the cost to keep them topped up with water is negligible.
