🌿 Garden Warning! 🌿
As the sunny days of spring arrive, many of us are eager to dust off our garden furniture and enjoy the fresh air. But hold on a minute! Did you know there’s a common mistake that could spell disaster for your lawn?
Matthew Lock, our go-to garden furniture specialist, reveals that placing wooden or metal furniture directly on grass can damage not just the furniture but the lawn itself. Moisture from the grass can lead to mould, rust, or even rot, especially for wooden pieces. Plus, heavy items on the lawn block sunlight and air, potentially leaving unsightly ‘dead patches.’
So, what’s the fix? Ideally, position your garden tables and chairs on a deck or patio. If that’s not possible, consider using protective gliders and make sure those wooden feet aren’t directly on the damp earth. Also, rotating your furniture can help ensure your grass stays lush and green.
With a bit of care, your outdoor space can remain both beautiful and functional. And don’t forget, regular cleaning and maintenance can make wooden furniture last for decades. A good scrub with warm, soapy water and a splash of white vinegar for stubborn dirt can work wonders. Once dried, applying a protective sealer every year or so can keep your furniture in top shape.
So, as you transform your garden into your summer haven, remember these tips to keep everything looking its best! ☀️🪑🌿
