Spring always brings a sense of anticipation and excitement – the start of something new and fresh possibilities! When it comes to your garden or landscaping project, now is the best time to begin planning and prepping for those big, bright and standout ideas.
To help you manage and achieve your garden goals, the team at George Davies are right behind you – from high-end landscaping materials, such as natural turf, stunning stone and premium composite decking, to making sure you have all your supplies delivered precisely when and where you need them.
We’ve supported numerous landscapers, garden designers, and homeowners in transforming their outdoor spaces. So, we’ve pulled together our favourite ideas to help inspire your landscaping renovations this spring. Let’s dig in…
Before you start preparing for your spring renovations, there are a few factors you need to consider. For example:
Landscapers and garden designers are excellent at seeing beyond what’s in front of them and optimising exterior space for maximum effect. As the #LandscapersChoice, we’ve helped many clients plan, prep and choose the right products to transform their spring gardens. Here are some of the most popular landscaping ideas for 2025:
If you’re struggling for time to maintain your garden but want the fulfilment of having a beautiful spot to sit out and enjoy, stone paving may be the way forward. From a complete stone patio to gravel pathways, our range of stone products can be used to create focal points or help frame a garden. With a mix of stone materials, colours and textures, you can find the right type of stone to complement your exterior design.
We love the look of cobbled detailing within a garden. Whether it’s mirroring the architectural aesthetics of a quaint cottage, creating a rustic-looking courtyard or reinforcing flower bed edges, cobble setts are a timeless addition, bringing real character to your outdoor space.
Incorporating turf into your spring renovations brings multiple benefits. Not only does it instantly add a pop of colour, but it also helps support the environment and creates a softer space for people, kids and pets to enjoy. If you’re looking to use a spring lawn, plan to get it laid in the next few weeks so it has time to settle into place and establish a strong root system.
Nothing screams sophistication more than composite decking – especially the stunning range from Millboard. Their Weathered Oak and Enhanced Grain ranges offer a mix of colours, surface patterns and finishes that replicate real timber without the challenges and maintenance of natural wood. Yes, it looks incredible, but composite decking also delivers practical benefits such as a slip-resistant, colour-resistant and weather-resistant coating. This means it maintains its appearance for years to come and removes the risk of slippery surfaces!
Whether revamping your domestic garden or creating a community space, making room for a children’s playground is a joyful way to enhance your outdoor space. Safety plays an integral role in these types of areas and that’s when play bark comes into its own. Not only is play bark aesthetically pleasing and complementary to other landscaping materials such as turf or stone, but the bark chips have been smoothed and treated to create a soft landing for little feet.
After storm Eowyn hit in early 2025, now is a great time to review your external structures post-winter. Fences often take the brunt of storm damage but are vital for marking borders and creating sections within your landscaping. Our range of high-quality fences are available in bulk order. Delivered directly to your site so you can replace or fit new fences without delay.
In our opinion, bark is an undervalued material in landscaping. As a by-product of timber, bark chips are treated and smoothed to offer a soft ground cover – ideal for foot traffic, kids and pets. But it also holds a load of additional benefits, such as aiding water drainage, suppressing weeds and protecting soil from extreme weather. The colour and texture of bark also help create definition in your landscaping and can be used across the biggest or smallest of spots to make a significant impact.
If you’re looking for a quick refresh rather than a complete revamp, here are our top tips to get the most from your garden and help it flourish this spring.
Are you plotting your spring garden refresh? Perhaps you’re designing an Eden for a client or a functional communal space. Whatever your landscaping ambitions may be, we can help. From supplying high-quality turf, stone and bark to guaranteed delivery slots, we help ensure your projects are delivered on time, on budget and to the highest standards.
