The Garden In Winter....
A refresh of colourful flowers in pots will lift the winter spirit! Add in 1/3 compost or a handful of sheep pellets to feed the soil and keep the plants healthy for the months ahead.
To give your property a boost, employ a company such as Chemwash to clean down the exterior of your house and paths (the house will look freshly painted and it helps maintain the existing paintwork). Mossy paths, timber decking and steps are important to clean for general safety.
