Cottage charm restored

This property lacked any street appeal.

The brief: To economically transform the frontage of the cottage to achieve a positive street appeal and create instant interest. Rent-A-Garden provided more than the brief and stayed within the budget.

Before

  • The absence of a front garden and lack of maintenance gave the property an unkempt look.
  • The sandstone paving needed a thorough cleaning.
  • The veranda needed to be extended to give additional privacy and usage.
After

  • A hanging basket under the patio woodwork added charm.
  • Box hedges added privacy.
  • Flowering Impatiens gave a cottage garden appeal.
  • Flowering potted Gardenias emphasised the entrance.
  • Weeding, cleaning and pebble inlay replacement of the sandstone paving gave a fresh clean appeal.
  • An overall positive impression of a house well maintained.
