Many of us love to spend the summer in our gardens, whether it be having a get together with friends and family, or relaxing with a good book; our garden becomes an extension of our home, an outdoor living space. So, if you’re planning renovation works in your garden, it’s important to plan ahead to ensure your space is ready for the summer.
This article discusses the various components of your garden transformation which you may need to consider to ensure it’s ready in time.
If you’ve decided to hire professional landscapers to complete your garden renovation, it’s important to ask for lead times. Many landscapers have a waiting list due to high demand and so you’ll need to think about booking soon to avoid disappointment.
It’s always a good idea to have a think about what you would be using your garden for and what sort of style you like (e.g. contemporary, natural, low maintenance) ready to share your ideas with your landscape designer. Looking on websites such as pinterest can really help you to gather ideas about what you like and what you wouldn’t want.
We are proud to partner with All Seasons Bespoke Landscape Gardens, who we’ve worked alongside for a number of years, helping our clients achieve their perfect outdoor space. An example of our collaboration is this beautiful garden in Nunthorpe. All Seasons designed the garden and completed the paving, landscaping and decorative works, whilst we supplied and installed our pergola with glass walls, creating an amazing garden room.
If you’re planning a DIY renovation, check the delivery times with suppliers. You may need to order sooner than you think to ensure materials are delivered on time. Making a list of all the supplies you need ensures your project isn’t held up and can save you money in the long run.
A perfect way to expand the entertainment space in your home, installing a veranda or pergola maximises the use of your garden, whatever the weather. With heating and lighting options available, you can enjoy the space well into the evening and on those cooler mornings. Better still, this new space has multiple uses from a relaxed alfresco dining area to a home office, the only limit is your imagination!
In terms of materials, there are several choices on the market such as uPVC and wood. At ERW, we’ve chosen to supply and install aluminium verandas and pergolas due to its durability, aesthetics and the fact that they are relatively low maintenance compared to its counterparts.
You may also want to consider whether you’d like your veranda or pergola installed before any paving/decking work is completed. Doing it this way round will mean that the foundations will be concealed underneath and results in a tidier finish.
From dining sets to comfy sofas, choosing the right furniture for your garden can take time. Also, delivery times and stock levels can change quickly. We’ve all heard about those garden egg chairs which sell out in hours!
We recommend taking some time to think about what you want to use your outdoor space for to match what type of seating will best suit your needs. For example, if you were wanting your space to be an intimate, relaxing area, having a 12 seater dining set may not help to create that chilled atmosphere.
Accessories, such as outdoor rugs, wall art and soft furnishings can help make your space cosy and inviting. Again, it is important to think about the main use of your area to identify which accessories would best match the space. For example, if you have small children, who often play in the garden, having low lying candles may not be the best option for you.
It may also be a good idea to check out reviews to ensure what you are buying is good quality and from a reputable source. You may want to check third party review websites such as Trustpilot or Feefo to see what people have to say about the company.
If you’re wanting your garden transformation ready for the summer months, it’s important to be planning now to ensure any work and supplies you require can be booked in and secured for the summer.
At ERW, our outdoor living range is currently on a 14 week lead time. So if a veranda or pergola is part of your plan, please get in touch with a member of our team at sales@erwltd.co.uk or call 01642 456167, who will be happy to help you with your garden transformation.

The work of installing our double glazed units has finished and my wife and I want to tell you what a pleasure it was to have the installers working on that job. They had humour, application, care, consideration and skill and we much enjoyed their time with us. We have thanked them but felt it was important for you to know how grateful we are.
Mr & Mrs W, Eaglescliffe
From our initial inquiry we felt immediately reassured that we were dealing with a company which understood our requirements and which would be able to deliver excellent quality and service. We were not disappointed, we have been delighted throughout with the friendly and help guidance, excellent quality and clean and efficient installation. Very professional customer focused service.
Mr & Mrs S, Gateshead
Our whole experience with ERW joiners has been absolutely first class. Our first meeting was a showroom appointment with Stuart Wall, I personally loved the showroom straightaway, the colours of the sample doors blew me away.
To the skilled craftsmen of joiners who made our front door, who we have not met, but who we will forever be grateful too – their craftsmanship is beyond compare – thank you so very much.
Mrs Lister
A superb job! We’re really delighted with all our new windows. We’d like to thank ERW very much.
The installation team of Craig, Aarron and Joe were very professional, worked well together and got on with the job efficiently to complete everything ahead of time. They were very polite and communicated well with us about the job in hand and the time scale, and we were impressed that they cleared up so well each day before leaving. We would like to thank them for all their workmanship, advice, help and good humour.
The quality of the items made off-site was very high. The 7 windows look really good, they operate well and the finish is excellent. Hopefully, next winter’s gas and electricity bills will show the benefit.
From our initial contact with Stuart and our visit to the showroom, through the technical survey by Andy and the co-ordination by Sophie and Jeff, to the final installation, we’re more than happy with the whole process. We’re so pleased that we chose ERW for our continuing efforts at improving our 115-year-old home. We will certainly come back for the final stage of work on our windows in due course.
Mr and Mrs C, Darlington
