We all know that summer can sometimes be unpredictable, not knowing what the weather is going to be like. For many of us, summer is the perfect time to show off your garden and home to your friends and family and host a party.

While there may be a lot of work to get the house ready you shouldn’t leave your garden until the last minute. Your garden is going to be your main entertaining space. So, let’s have a look at some of the ways you can get your garden ready for summer entertaining:

Look At Your Patio And Decking

You want to get your garden looking as good as possible, and to do this you need to do some cleaning. Just as important as your flower beds and lawn, your decking or patio is a key entertaining area for any garden party. During the wetter seasons, your patio and decking get ignored and are left to get filthy. There are two time-efficient and simple ways you can bring your decking and patio back to life. The first to jet wash and secondly weeding and grouting to provide the finishing touches.

When Summer Entertaining, Provide Some Shade

When it comes to the sun, everyone knows that it can be harmful to your skin. Sitting directly in the sun, especially during the middle of the day, and expecting your friends/family to do the same isn’t good for anyone. This means you need to find a way to provide some respite from the sun. Custom made awnings from Luxaflex could be a fantastic solution to this. You could also add some parasols, use a gazebo, or add some taller trees.

Love Your Lawn

Your lawn is another vital entertaining area for any garden party, therefore, it is an area that needs some substantial attention in preparation for your party. Giving it a declutter and quick trim will instantly make it look smarter and make it look more inviting. Cutting down this area will also allow other features such as the flower beds to stand out. If you have any patchy areas or weeds in your lawn you may want to think about treating it with lawn feed.

Keep It Organised And Tidy

With all the cutting, cleaning, and trimming you need to stay on top of the garden waste that is produced You certainly don’t want any of it hanging around when you have guests. Use your garden waste bin as much as you, can but anything that doesn’t fit think about taking it to the skip. If you regularly tidy and organize your garden throughout the summer, you won’t feel like you have a huge job to tackle last-minute.
