Getting Ready for Landscaping Season: Planning Your Outdoor Upgrade

As the days start to get longer and the weather begins to improve, many homeowners and tradespeople alike start turning their attention to outdoor spaces. Landscaping season is fast approaching, making now the perfect time to begin planning upgrades to your garden, patio, or outdoor living area.

Whether you’re looking to create a new entertaining space, refresh a tired patio, or completely transform your garden layout, starting early gives you time to explore materials, plan designs, and ensure everything is ready once the warmer weather arrives.

Start With a Clear Plan

Before jumping straight into purchasing materials, it’s worth taking time to think about how you want to use your outdoor space. Consider questions such as:

Do you want an area for outdoor dining or entertaining?
Would a low-maintenance patio work best for your lifestyle?
Are you looking to create zones for relaxing, gardening, or socialising?

Planning ahead also allows you to consider practical factors like drainage, ground preparation, and access routes for materials and installation.

Choosing the Right Paving

Paving is often the foundation of any landscaping project and plays a huge role in the overall look and feel of your outdoor space. From modern porcelain patios to traditional stone paving, selecting the right material can completely transform a garden.

At Chandler Materials, we work with trusted manufacturers such as Bradstone, a well-known name in landscaping products. Bradstone offers a wide range of paving styles, colours, and finishes designed to suit everything from contemporary garden designs to more traditional outdoor spaces.

Many of their paving ranges can be viewed on our landscaping displays, allowing you to see the materials in person before making a decision. This can be incredibly helpful when comparing textures, colours, and finishes to find the right fit for your project.

Considering Composite Decking

If you’re looking for a sleek, modern alternative to traditional timber decking, composite decking is becoming an increasingly popular option.

We supply composite decking from NewTechWood, a manufacturer known for producing high-quality composite materials designed specifically for outdoor environments. Their decking combines recycled wood fibres and plastics to create boards that are durable, low maintenance, and resistant to rot, fading, and insect damage.

Composite decking can be used to create stunning outdoor living spaces, raised entertaining areas, or garden walkways. With a range of colours and finishes available, NewTechWood products offer the look of natural timber without the ongoing maintenance that traditional decking often requires.

Get Inspiration From Our Displays

Sometimes the hardest part of starting a landscaping project is visualising how everything will come together. Visiting a branch and seeing products installed in real displays can make the decision process much easier.

Our landscaping displays showcase paving options, layouts, and materials so you can explore different styles and find inspiration for your own outdoor project.
