Start by making it easier for yourself! If you want back garden ideas that aren’t going to take up all your time, you’re in the right place. Pick low maintenance plants and features like a rockery or shrubs that require less garden work. Then, invest in the right garden tools for the job to make maintenance a doddle!
To clean wooden garden furniture either wipe clean with warm (dilute) soapy water or a 1:1 mixture of white vinegar and water.
You can even pour this into a spray bottle if you want to move around. Use a soft bristle brush and the solution and scrub to remove dirt or grease. Then, simply use a sponge or microfibre cloth to gently clean benches, dining sets, garden tables and chairs.
Powered by either petrol, a battery, or a mains cord - a brushcutter is a more powerful handheld form of garden strimmer. In addition to grass, it’s capable of trimming weeds, small trees, and other foliage that your lawnmower can’t reach, or your garden strimmer can’t handle.
