Get Your Garden Ready for the New Year: Cleaning, Furniture, and Décor Tips

As the year ends, it’s the perfect time to give your garden a little love and get it ready for all the sunny days ahead. At Shackletons, we know how important it is to create a garden you can enjoy all year round, and we’re here to help! From sprucing up your garden to finding the perfect furniture, we’ve got everything you need to get your garden ready for the new year.

Give Your Garden a Fresh Start

Before you start decorating or upgrading your furniture, it’s worth spending a little time tidying up your garden. Not only will it make your garden look great, but it’ll also create a blank canvas for all your new ideas.

• Clear Away the Winter Mess: Sweep up those leftover leaves, pull out weeds, and get rid of any dead plants or branches. A tidy garden feels instantly more inviting.
• Trim and Tidy: Prune back shrubs, trees, and hedges to encourage healthy growth. A little winter pruning works wonders when spring arrives.
• Clean Your Hard Surfaces: A quick scrub or pressure wash can make patios, decking, and paths look like new again. Say goodbye to moss and grime!
• Prep Your Lawn: If your grass looks tired, rake away debris, aerate the soil, and add some lawn feed to give it a head start for spring.

Now that the basics are sorted, let’s talk about upgrading your outdoor furniture.
