How can you refurbish your garden?
Make redecorating your garden as crazy as you like. We distinguish between sprucing up your garden by maintenance and a complete overhaul.
Maintenance
Does sprucing up your garden mean proper maintenance? When refurbishing your garden through maintenance, obviously your entire garden does not have to be removed. Who knows, mowing the lawn, removing weeds, trimming the hedge and cleaning the paving may be enough in combination with a landscaper taking care of the plants. A professional listens to your wishes and can combine them well with his knowledge of planting, soil types and other garden materials.
Full refurbishment
Do you want to complete your garden? First, sit down with a landscaper so that a good garden design can be drawn up according to your wishes and then get to work. First have your garden completely cleared so that you are not bothered by tree roots, for example, when laying out your new garden. If necessary, have your garden raised if the soil has subsided or dig a part because you want a pond. Then start laying out your ideal garden, such as paving, constructing a decking and, for example, placing an arbour, summerhouse or pergola. For the construction of your garden, hiring a gardener is not a luxury because of his knowledge and experience. A gardener will have your garden done in no time because a landscaping company has access to large equipment for heavy work.
Tips for renovating your garden
Get inspired
Inspiration and ideas are an important basis for renovating your garden. Look around at the different garden styles available. This will prevent you from wanting something different afterwards. Search for your dream garden on the internet, browse through gardening magazines or talk to friends and family about it.
Get a garden design done
Don’t know exactly how you want your garden done yet? Then have a garden design made based on your wishes. A landscaper will listen to what you want and apply it in the design. This will prevent you from impulsively chopping down a tree for a lot of money, which afterwards was unnecessary.
Professional gardener
Hiring a gardener to maintain your garden? Then look out for a seal of approval before your garden is an even bigger mess. A gardener affiliated with Groenkeur, Tuinkeur or Vereniging van Hoveniers en Groenvoorzieners (VHG) is a professional. These quality marks guarantee that the gardener keeps abreast of innovations in his profession.
Take out a maintenance subscription
Don’t want to have to worry about your garden anymore? Then take out a maintenance contract. A gardener or landscaper will take care of your garden. Your garden will look beautiful and well-kept all year round.

- After refurbishment, you will enjoy a beautiful garden.

- Your garden will be completely designed according to your wishes.
