Planters
A budget-friendly and simple way you can enhance the appearance of your outdoor space is by adding garden planters. Whether you want to bring life and colour to your worn-out space or just add a breath of fresh air to your garden again, the addition of colourful flowers or vegetables can do so. You can drastically alter a space’s aesthetic just by adding various plants and flowers.

You can build your own planters with leftover composite material to retain a budget-friendly project. Additionally, you can even use timber to bring down the cost further.
Add composite fencing
The addition of composite fencing panels will instantly increase the aesthetic value of your garden area, adding security and beauty simultaneously. The installation process of composite fencing couldn’t be easier, meaning you can complete the process yourself without hiring a professional fitter, which brings down the cost of your project.
There is also no need for an extensive number of tools to accurately complete the job, meaning that you don’t even need previous DIY experience or expertise to get the job done. As we all know, labour costs on construction projects can be high and are usually around 2/3rds of the overall cost of any project. Therefore with composite fencing, you can prevent installation costs by easily completing it yourself.
Create a bar
Another way you can enhance your garden area and make sure it looks like a million bucks is by adding an entertainment area or bar. If you are on a budget and looking to keep down the cost of your project, you can use timber boards or even leftover composite decking to build the bar yourself and save money. There are many different styles, colours and surface finishes of composite to choose from. You can improve your outdoor space in any way you like by providing an aesthetic to suit your surrounding environment best.
Outdoor dining table
Adding an outdoor dining table can provide an alfresco living space perfect for summer nights with friends and family. This doesn’t have to be an option that breaks the bank, either! You don’t have to spend thousands on new garden furniture or tables and chairs. You can choose to reupholster old or existing furniture or even build your own benches and chairs using leftover composite or timber material to bring down the cost.
There are even some cheaper dining tables available on the market to choose from when aiming to keep the cost of your project down. Adding a dining table to your space is bound to add elegance and beauty to your garden.
Composite cladding
Composite cladding has a simple installation process which can save you costs on your overall project as there is no need to hire a professional fitter, which can cost hundreds. Composite is lightweight and doesn’t require loads of tools to get the job done accurately, which creates a quick and convenient installation process.
Cladding will also add insulation to your outdoor property or wall, which will save you money over time on heating. Therefore, composite cladding is an investment and budget-friendly option that will ensure your garden looks a million bucks all year.
