Lots of people think of the winter months as a period of hibernation when it comes to DIY and gardening, but at M&T we think it’s a time of opportunity. It a time to get ahead of the game. During the winter months, you don’t have lawns to mow, and you don’t have weeding to do, so you have all the time in the world to make sure your hard landscaping is in good order for the year ahead.
The winter and spring months are perfect for ensuring that your fences, decking, and everything “outdoor wood” is checked, repaired, and replaced where necessary. That’s why at M&T we make sure we’ve got a large stock of garden timber available so you can buy wood online easily and quickly.
Keeping your outdoor space looking great
Over the past few years, we’ve all grown to love our outdoor spaces even more. Forced into it in part by the pandemic, we’ve embraced the fact that it might be cold out there, but if we wrap up, it’s a great place to be. The best news is, keeping your outdoor space looking great needn’t be a chore if you do it step by step. And if you do it that way, you’ll thank yourself when the lighter nights and the warmer days come.
Winter/spring maintenance
Winter or early spring is a great time to take a wander around your garden with a critical eye. While you’re wandering, ask yourself - in the ideal world, what would you do? Would you repair this or replace that? Granted, funds for garden maintenance and repair are rarely bottomless, but with the right planning and preparation, a little can go a long, long way.
Rotting wood is a bugbear at this time of year and now is the time to decide what fence rails, fence slats, sleepers or decking need to be replaced, or just re-finished. At M&T, you can either order wood online or come into the store and pick it up.
Preparing for summer
In winter or spring, you really can get ahead of yourself in the garden. It’s a great time to take jobs at your own pace because there’s no pressure of everything growing at break-neck speed behind your back every time you turn.
Here are a couple of things we’d strongly recommend for this time of year:
Check your decking
If you have a decking, you won’t need us to remind you of how much use it gets during the summer. Often one of the garden areas with the greatest footfall, your deck needs to be cared for and maintained. Take time now to see if you need to replace any decking and check this out so you can buy the wood you need now.
Take a closer look at your fence
Depending on the size of your garden, checking your fence might take a few minutes or a couple of days. What you’re looking for when you give your fence ‘the once over’ is rotten fence posts, fence rails or slats. When your fence is rotting it becomes an eyesore in your garden as well as potentially becoming a security problem. Now is the time to act.
