Whilst some of us love to spend as much time as possible pottering around in the garden, there are others who have little to no interest in planting and preening. Yet, without a great deal of time spent in the garden, it will be impossible to get a great looking outdoor space that one can truly enjoy. Or so, many people think.

In reality, from utilising attractive Indian sandstone paving to fabricating a garden studio, there will be many ways to get a garden that is the perfect place to relax in with almost no work needing to be done to keep it looking that way.

Whilst certain trees and plants will need constant care and attention, there will be others that you can simply leave to their own devices, and finding these to add the decorative finish to your garden will offer you a space that stays looking great day in and day out with all but the minimal of human help. Look at using planters instead of flower beds too as the former will be far easier to maintain and keep your garden looking beautiful without the fuss.

Removing plenty of grass will be very important, but by doing this you run the risk of making the outdoors look like they are indoors. However, just by mixing up the items you use and combining that Indian sandstone paving with the likes of wooden sleepers and slate chippings, you can get an extremely varied and very much outdoorsy look, and one that still needs little help to remain looking great.

Once you have the paving and slate chippings you need, it will also be important to know what you want to use the garden for and to arrange it accordingly. If it is for family gatherings, decking might be important, but if you simply wish for it to be a beautiful area to relax in, then you may well find that an external building helps you enjoy the summer even more.
