There’s something about spring that has us itching to get outside and enjoy our outdoor living spaces again. But after a long winter, gardens and decks often need a little TLC.
If you’re ready to breathe new life into your outdoor area without doing a full reno, then these handy tips can help you reimagine, and refresh your outdoor space and get it ready for the entertaining season.
Refreshing your outdoor area
1. Start with a reset
Begin your spring refresh with a clean slate. First, clear away any plants that went untended throughout winter. Collect the discarded pet or kids’ toys that’ve seen better days and book in a council cleanup to reset your outdoor area. Once everything has been cleared away, that’s when the fun, planning stage begins.
2. Take stock of the garden
So, you’ve just ruthlessly decluttered your outdoor area, now it’s time to take stock of the garden. Start by pruning back any overgrown plants and trees before weeding the garden beds. Next, head to your nearest garden store and pick up some fresh spring blooms. Spring is the perfect time to reset the garden, as the growing conditions are ideal and there’s plenty of variety with many plants in bloom.
3. Decide to DIY
Next up is the big call: do you DIY or call in a professional? For bigger jobs or if you’re not overly confident, it might be best to hire a tradie. However, you might be surprised at what you can do yourself. With the help of innovative products that are simple to install (like the Everdeck by Timberlink decking boards), and a solid plan, you can accomplish a total reset in just as little as a weekend.
4. Revive the decking
Choosing to update your decking can be a major factor in making use of the space. We’ve all seen the cautionary tales of splintered, rotting decking. But by choosing high-quality, Australian-made wood composite decking that is designed for durability, you can be confident that it will be able to withstand the tough Aussie sun and often-wet environments.
Everdeck by Timberlink has been designed with DIY-ers in mind. The simple-to-install decking boards have a concealed fastening system, making it a DIY-friendly installation (thanks to the downloadable guide) that looks and feels sleek and modern. Plus, with six stylish colours to choose from, there’s something to suit every home.
5. Revamp the outdoor furniture
Be honest, has that outdoor dining set seen better days? If so, ask yourself: can it be revived with a fresh coat of paint and new cushions, or is it time to retire it and invest in a durable upgrade that will stand the test of time? While refreshing the space, be sure to get some weatherproof furniture sliders to keep your brand-new deck protected.
6. Kick back and relax
There’s no better feeling than enjoying the results of your hard work. Invite friends around without worrying about sanding, sealing, or staining your Everdeck by Timberlink deck, it’s ready to show off straight away. We’re confident your guests will not only be complimenting your efforts, but also the stylish new deck too. So, be sure to send them to Everdeck by Timberlink to find out more.
Everdeck® by Timberlink wood composite decking boards are manufactured in Tasmania primarily from a combination of Australian recycled plastic and plantation timber residues such as wood shavings.
