As the days get longer and the weather warms up, spring is a great time to get your garden ready for landscaping work. Whether you’re doing it yourself or working in the trade, getting organised now can save you problems later on.
Start with a Garden Check
Before starting anything new, have a good look around your garden. Winter can leave behind more damage than you expect so clear away leaves, branches and general mess so you can see everything clearly. Check fences, patios and decking for cracks or loose areas and take a look at your lawn for bare patches or waterlogged spots. A simple tidy-up helps you see what needs fixing first.
Plan Before You Buy
It’s tempting to just rush out and buy plants, but a bit of planning goes a long way. Think about how you want the space to look and how you’ll use it and that can be for relaxing, entertaining or somewhere for kids to play. Think about sunlight, soil and drainage too and for extra guidance, you can find practical advice on the RHS site.

Check Your Tools and Supplies
Make sure your tools are in good condition before things get busy. Sharpen blades, fix anything broken and stock up on basics like gloves and materials. It’s worth doing this early on as supplies can run low once the season gets going.
