Top Tips for an Attractive Backyard

For people who lead busy lives and who don’t have a particularly green thumb or an eye for detail, the backyard can often be left unattended. The result can be overgrown garden beds, long grass and the blurring of otherwise defined lines. Some even get used to this state of affairs, not realising that perhaps they would be more inclined to spend time outdoors if the space was well looked after.

Lawns, Overgrowth and Weeds

Mowing the lawn doesn’t actually take that long, but it certainly makes a difference, giving the whole space a new fresh look. Cutting back branches that are in the way can also open up the space and save people brushing into them or ducking to get past. Pulling out the weeds that are the most visible can also be quite satisfying. It might not be the most enjoyable task but doing a bit each week and working systematically can yield great results. Sweep or blow the paths at the end for a good finish. For people who find keeping on top of gardening difficult, hiring in gardeners on a regular basis can be a viable option. This also saves the need to keep a working lawnmower onsite.

Keep the Pool Area Tidy

A backyard swimming pool is often a significant investment, with ongoing cleaning and maintenance costs. As with any investment, care should be taken to look after it and maximise the returns. The pool is no exception. Aside from the routine maintenance of the swimming pool itself, a few minutes spent at the end of the day or session tidying up the area can make a big difference. Taking a minute to straighten poolside furniture, a couple of minutes to collect items such as goggles, towels, bathers and toys, means that the pool is ready for the next use. Keeping a broom within easy access makes it easy to do a quick sweep of the area if this is necessary.

Keep Glass Pool Fence Panels Sparkling

Frameless glass pool fencing in Sydney homes seems to be the new trend, and with good reason. The slim glass panels provide the safety barrier required by state law in New South Wales, but they are much more than just a barricade. Glass pool fencing can become integrated into the entire backyard and allow an attractive pool to be the continued focal point, as opposed to a row of black bars. Through deliberate design, a glass pool fence can become a feature in itself and enhance the whole area.

Hosing down glass pool fence panels regularly prevents the build-up of dirt and grime which can be quite a job to remove. Water splashing from the pool can also leave behind a residue of salt or chlorine which should be rinsed off to keep the glass panels in good shape. Stubborn streaks can be scrubbed off with warm soapy water, followed by a good rinse. Through regular care cleaning and maintenance, a glass pool fence can look brand new for years.
