Gardens are a point of focus for any sale and make a solid first impression when presented well. You can consider many different ideas to get your garden sale-ready. Here are our quick tips on where to focus:

Green and fresh is best:

• mow the lawn - don't forget the edges!
• trim hedges and trees
• weeding like crazy
• pressure clean paths
• remove any discoloured or unhealthy greenery
• mulch your garden beds with a good layer of mulch.

Yard styling for a bright and cheerful outdoors:

• strategically place pots of differing sizes in key focal spots
• add grass seed to any patches of lawn to keep it looking lush.

Those extra bits + pieces

• replace worn or damaged outdoor furniture
• firepit areas are a great conversation point
• adding a garden table and chairs helps to create a separate zone in the yard.

Some quick tips for different sized yards:

• choose smaller furniture and pots to make the space look bigger
