Planning your Garden Projects

Winter is a great time of year to tidy up your garden. Whether you have recently moved into a new house that has a garden in need of some love, or you have neglected your garden for a while, now is the time to start working on it to get it ready for the spring.

You might want to get rid of some overgrown areas, create a patio or decked area for entertaining in the summer, or put up new fences and sheds or a summerhouse.

Whatever you are planning to do in your garden, before you do anything else take some time to plan out how long it will take, what you will need and what you hope to achieve. Create a schedule and allow yourself a certain amount of time to do it all.

It is a good idea to start getting all of the equipment that you need at this point if you don’t have it already. You might need to hire tools and machinery such as diggers or chainsaws. You also need to think about the amount of waste that you will need to remove and how you will do this. If you get a rough idea of how much waste you will have, you can then book a skip to be delivered from somewhere like this Swansea skip hire company pendragonskiphire.co.uk so you will have it when you need it.

Create a plan of what order you will do things in and when you will do them, as then you will be able to book what you need for the right time. For example, if the garden is very overgrown, the first thing to do is clear it.

You may also need to order materials if you are planning to build anything. If you want to build a patio, or put up a new fence for example, you will need to think about what materials you will need to order and plan when you will need them for. This can be difficult with some jobs, as the weather can prevent you from doing things like laying concrete, but getting as much ordered as possible will reduce the chance of there being a delay if you are not able to get what you need straight away.
