New build garden ideas for a spectacular summer
Summer has arrived, and with it comes the promise of sunny days, pretty colours and plenty of opportunities to enjoy your outdoor space.
If you’ve recently moved into a new build home or you’re looking to give your garden a fresh look, now is the perfect time to transform it. From adding flower beds that burst with colour to practical outdoor dining areas, there are countless ways to create a garden that's made for summer.
Create a blooming paradise
What better way to celebrate summer than with an explosion of blossoms? Fill your garden with an array of colourful flowers which are designed to bloom throughout the season. From classic roses to delicate daisies, choose a variety of plants that suit your taste and gardening expertise. If you’re looking to add layers of texture to your garden, consider incorporating hanging baskets, window boxes and flower beds which will build visual interest.
Add an outdoor dining area
Those looking for new build garden inspiration should look to take advantage of the sunny weather by creating an outdoor kitchen and dining area. A barbecue, pizza oven or outdoor grill can make summer evenings with your family even more enjoyable. Pair this with comfortable seating, shade umbrellas, and a sturdy table to host friends and family. And if you're looking to extend the magic into warm summer evenings, add string lights or lanterns.
Grow a kitchen garden
Bring fresh flavours straight from your garden to your plate. Herbs such as basil, rosemary, mint and thyme thrive in the summer heat and provide fresh flavours for your cooking. You can also grow your own crisp vegetables and juicy fruits in designated garden beds or areas, allowing you to enhance the scents and tastes of your summer dishes.
Harness the power of vertical gardening
One of the biggest summer garden trends of the year is vertical gardening. By installing wall-mounted planters, hanging baskets, or trellises, you can maximise your space and add a captivating dimension to your new build garden. To add a whimsical touch to your outdoor space, you can grow a variety of trailing flowers, herbs and even succulents.
Incorporate a relaxing water feature
Water features bring a sense of calm and serenity to any garden. From bubbling fountains to cascading waterfalls or a small pond, they create gentle sounds that make your garden feel like a retreat. They also attract birds and other wildlife, adding an extra layer of life and interest to your outdoor space.
Incorporate outdoor lighting
Extend your garden’s appeal into the evening with well-placed lighting. String lights, lanterns and pathway lights not only make your garden safer to navigate, but also highlight its most attractive features. Lighting can instantly create a magical atmosphere for summer dinners, evening drinks, or quiet nights spent outdoors.
With these garden ideas, you can turn your outdoor space into a lush paradise where you can relax, entertain and savour the joys of the season. Transform your new build garden into a personal sanctuary that reflects your style and offers the perfect canvas for your garden.
