Blog & News | Garden: Champagne Looks on a Lemonade Budget

As the weather warms up, many homeowners are looking to refresh their outdoor spaces — and the good news is, you don’t need a big budget to make a big impact. Whether you’re planning to enjoy your garden all summer or prepping your home for sale down the line, these budget-friendly upgrades will pay off in curb appeal and resale value.

1. Add Container Gardens

Planters filled with a mix of colourful flowers and fragrant herbs instantly brighten patios and porches. Bonus: they are portable, low maintenance, and make small spaces pop.

2. Solar Lighting = Instant Ambiance

Affordable solar lights along walkways, fences, or garden beds add charm and safety without increasing your hydro bill. It’s an easy win for nighttime curb appeal. Hanging lanterns, string lights or candles in jars are a quick and inexpensive way to add ambiance and a cozy feel to your backyard.

3. Refresh Mulch & Edging

A few bags of dark mulch can go a long way. Tidy borders and fresh mulch give your garden beds a polished, professional look — a subtle but effective way to show a well maintained home.

4. Create a Simple Seating Area

Add a couple of Adirondack chairs, a bistro set, or even a DIY bench. Buyers love to imagine themselves relaxing in the yard — and you’ll enjoy it all summer too.

5. DIY Vertical Planters or Trellises

Maximize vertical space by adding a trellis with climbing plants or repurposing pallets into a wall garden. Old ladders make great vertical herb gardens. It’s eye-catching and great for small yards or balconies.

Why It Matters for Future Sales

First impressions count — and a clean, inviting garden sets the tone for the whole property. Buyers notice these touches and associate them with overall care and quality. Thoughtful landscaping can increase your home’s perceived value and help it stand out in a competitive market but in the meantime, you get to enjoy your beautiful garden!
