There is nothing like having a practical, open garden for you, your family and friends to enjoy when the British weather compromises! With a practical vision and a brilliant team of Exeter landscapers to help you achieve your perfect garden space, you can have the garden of your dreams within a matter of weeks – definitely something for you to look forward to!
Take a look at our simple ideas to improve your garden space, so you can socialise to your heart’s content with your loved ones. On the other hand, you may want to construct a blank canvas and prepare the foundations before you commit to a design or style – luckily our landscaping team at Cowley’s Building & Maintenance can do just that. Read on to find out more.
As we mentioned briefly above, making sure you have the best foundations to build your perfect garden space is a fundamental part of the ongoing process. For example, if you have recently moved into a new home that has an overgrown garden, that you want to tackle before making any type of commitment to designing a new garden, then our Exeter landscaping team can help to remove unwanted shrubs and pieces of debris. Once this job is complete, you will be able to step back and be able to see what you are working with, giving you a good sense of space and layout. From there, the world is your oyster in terms of decking, patio space, rolling out a new lawn etc.
Furthermore, if you are looking to completely redesign your garden, it may be worth seeing what is underneath the foundations so you don’t run into any problems down the line with structures such as underground pipes, especially if you are wanting to build new decking, or even an property extension, such as a conservatory.
Some people love to socialise with friends and family on a regular basis, inviting them over for drinks, bbq’s or just a good catch up. Others may have young kids who require a lot of garden space to run around and burn off copious amounts of energy! Whatever your intentions, there are simple additions that can make your garden a haven for your needs.
We recommend relaying your outside space with artificial grass – not only is the material weather resistant, but your kids won’t be covered in mud or dirt if it has been raining! It’s a fantastic alternative to the real-deal and also looks just as good, especially with its lush green colour all year round.
Who doesn’t love a nice decking or patio for entertaining guests? Not only does hardwood decking look spectacularly sophisticated, but when treated correctly, can last for decades to come! With the option to install lighting within the slats, your garden will look beautiful (as well as being practical) from noon until dark – even more reason to continue the party all year round!

We know how important it is to make your garden space 100% perfect and you will be able to ask us questions – as well as our team giving you some inspiration and ideas from past experience – you may not have thought of.
If you have painted or decorated a house interior before, you may know that lighter colours on walls and furnishings can open up a small space a great deal more. This is the same for garden spaces as well and if you aren’t sure what colour to paint falls or fencing, it might be worth considering a light colour option that will also complement your plants, flowers or outside furniture.
What’s more, lighter colours are a fantastic option in the spring and summer months, when everything is a little brighter. Do make sure to purchase good quality masonry paint that’s easy to clean once it’s on the wall or fence and do clean the surface before painting!
Although our Devon builders are well regarded for our property conversions, painting and decorating and general maintenance work, we have also helped many property owners to achieve the garden space of their dreams. With our help and advice, you’ll be able to enjoy a garden that is practical for you and which you can love all year round.
