4. Edge your lawn

Use paving stones to give an elegant edge to your lawn. It will make any lawn edge much neater and will also make it easier to trim the edges especially if it grows close to a wall or planters.

5. Paint your shed

Sheds can look really boring and dull; people think of them as just storage. But why do they need to look like just storage?

Try painting your shed to brighten it up, you can go down any route, from bright and vibrant to elegant and chique

6. Create your own mini allotment

You could try making your own mini-allotment. You can use some cheap timber or decking boards to create your own vegetable paradise.
