How to make the best first impression of your property

23.08.22

You only get one chance to make a dazzling first impression, and it is no different when it comes to property. Whether you are thinking about putting your house on the market, or you just want a smart, secure front garden to come home to, we can help with our options of ready-made and bespoke garden joinery.

When designing a garden it’s easy to get caught up in the details of how it will look when you are enjoying it from within, but it is important to make sure that the exterior is super smart too. Join us as we look at some great options for making an impressive welcome to friends and family, or important customers and clients on business properties.

Create the perfect frame with our fencing and trellis

Front gardens with low brick walls can really benefit from our wooden trellis and fencing, creating a smart and welcoming entrance.

Classic trellis and slatted panels can provide the perfect frame to the garden and give support to your planting. Where there is no boundary wall, solid fencing with trellis toppers is often preferred for security, privacy and noise reduction.

Gorgeous Gates

Our wooden gates are extremely popular with our customers, providing a range of solutions for security and a warm welcome. The incredibly high quality of the RHS Prestige Gates make them an investment that will last for years to come.

These solid and trellis topped pedestrian gates feature bevelled edges and subtle angled tops to prevent water sitting on them. We can also work with you on large electric driveway gates as well as more decorative options.

Stores & covers

A quick hack for instantly smartening up a property entrance is to use stores and covers for disguising more bulky items.

Particularly popular with owners of terraced houses, our bin stores neatly enclose the large local council issued wheelie bins that are cluttering up front gardens across the country.

You can order 1, 2 or 3 door bin stores online or get in touch to get all your storage sorted in one multi bay unit. Many customers are choosing to match their bin store to a bike shed and increasingly frequently we are creating bespoke air conditioning unit covers and air-source heat pump covers.

Pergolas and car ports

Using a bespoke pergola in a property entrance can provide a grand and protective walkway or give shade and cover for cars.

Stylish car ports can also be created from our trellis and Vista Decorative screens, perfect for growing climbing plants to add more greenery.

The finishing touch – planters

Wooden planters add a lovely finishing touch flanking a front door and matching the other garden joinery. We have a popular range of ready-made planters that can be ordered online and of course we can help with bespoke sizes and styles.
