3 tips for preparing your garden for autumn
With the evenings drawing in, chilly mornings and the scent of pumpkin spiced lattes on the horizon, autumn is just around the corner.
As well as enjoying delicious hot drinks and cosy jumpers, the beginning of autumn is the perfect time to prepare your garden for the colder months to ensure you enjoy the crisp weather and beautiful shades of the changing leaves. Read on for our 3 top tips for how to make the most of your garden at this wonderful time of year.
Give your garden an autumn clean
We’ve all heard of the benefits of spring cleaning our houses, so why not treat your garden to an autumn clean too? Cut back overgrown plants, clear out your overflowing shed and greenhouse and clean any flowerpots ready for next year’s new growths or your winter veg endeavours. It’s also a great time to power wash or scrub clean patios, decking, garden furniture and driveways to help prevent dirt and grime building up over the coming colder months when you’re much less likely to want to venture outside with a hose pipe.
Add outdoor shading with heating and lighting
We all enjoy spending time in our gardens with family and friends so why should this stop in autumn? A garden awning or patio cover will allow you and your loved ones to continue to relish the great outdoors together by providing a sheltered garden area in which to enjoy a glass of red wine or a late season BBQ. At Broadview, as well as providing you with a quality outdoor shading solution tailored to your tastes and requirements, you also have the option to add integrated LED lighting and heating so you can create a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere on dark evenings or dull afternoons.

Plant evergreens for year-round colour
A great tip for ensuring your garden stays looking colourful and fresh is to sow evergreen plants. There are a huge range of varieties available in differing tones of green, silver, gold and reds to really help add interest. Some popular evergreen garden plants include luscious green laurel bushes, Spindle ‘Silver Queen’, which has beautiful silver edged leaves, and Hart’s Tongue Fern, an interesting, vibrant fern.
