Homes across the United Kingdom have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of Spring 2025, and it’s finally just around the corner! The first official day of Spring is Thursday, 20th March.

As the days grow longer and warmer, we can’t wait to get outside and make the most of the glorious British sunshine. Here at our office HQ in Pembrokeshire, West Wales, we’ve already been hearing the familiar hum of lawnmowers and the scent of freshly cut grass in the air.

We Britons know that Spring and Summer are the perfect seasons to enjoy our gardens and outdoor spaces. After a long and challenging winter, it’s time to step outside, breathe in the fresh air, soak up some sunshine, and reconnect with nature.

If this weekend will be your first venture into the garden this year, don’t worry – it’s not too late! Now is the perfect time to get your outdoor space ready for the warmer months ahead.

Start by tidying up your garden. Remove any fallen leaves, branches, and debris left over from winter storms. Prune back any damaged or dead branches from trees and shrubs. A versatile multi-tool can make short work of even the toughest gardening tasks.

Give your lawn some much-needed TLC. Rake up any lingering leaves, trim the grass, and use a high-quality lawnmower for a neat and even cut. This will encourage healthy growth and keep your garden looking pristine.

Boost your soil’s health by adding compost or fertiliser. Shredding organic matter and Chipping pruned branches is a great way to recycle nurients back into your soil and help your plants thrive throughout the season.

Add a splash of colour by planting spring-flowering bulbs like daffodils, tulips, and crocuses. These easy-to-grow plants brighten up any outdoor space and bring a cheerful atmosphere.

Use hanging baskets, window boxes, and plant pots filled with seasonal flowers to add layers of colour and charm to patios, balconies, and doorsteps.

Clean and repair your outdoor furniture, and arrange it to create a comfortable and inviting seating area. Pressure Washers are an essential garden tool to get garden and furniture cleaned. 

Make the most of al fresco dining by setting up a designated space with a table, chairs, or a picnic blanket. Enjoy your meals surrounded by nature.

A birdbath, fountain, or pond can attract wildlife and add a peaceful ambiance to your garden. The gentle sound of water creates a tranquil environment perfect for relaxation.
