An unsightly gap in the conifers with a dusty patch of barren earth beneath.
An ugly breeze block wall that’s become a general dumping ground.
A corner of the decking now overlooked by our neighbours after they cut down the canopy of trees that had shielded us from their gaze for over 20 years.
All niggling areas of our garden that had long needed some attention. Some tlc. A facelift.
The question was, how best to disguise and transform them and create focal points for the right reasons?
Well, with a little thought and the help of a really fabulous range of garden accessories, these unsightly areas got a new lease of life and came into their own. And we couldn’t be happier with the results.
Two good sized wooden planters from the Garden Creations range placed under the trees with a choice of evergreen plants for all year cover and a pop of colour at either end with some vibrant pots and job done. What gap?
Next on our list. The breeze block wall. Not a good look for the garden.
Using the same planters as we had for the area under the conifers – the tier planter which we had positioned side by side for width but as a tier against the wall to give additional height – we added 2 matching slat screens behind to disguise as much of the wall as possible. And it worked brilliantly.
Last but not least the corner of our decking, the task to create a dining private area without being overlooked.
Again, from the Creations range, we chose the corner set – one vertical and one horizontal slatted screen and 3 planters. Combined with some climbing jasmine in the tall planter trained over the screens together with ivy trailing down from the over fence planters, this has created the most wonderful, fragrant, colourful feature on our decking. Gorgeous and practical – no prying eyes while we tuck into our barbecued burgers!
Bosh. Just like that. We couldn’t be happier with the results. We now have three stunning focal points in our garden that not only look wonderful, they get the job done.
Take a look at the Garden Creations range of planters, screens, benches and plant stands, all perfect for transforming areas of your garden to create superb, eye-catching features. As you can see!
