How to Renovate Your Garden on a Budget

Assess Your Garden's Needs

The first step to renovating your garden on a budget is a thorough assessment. Identify what needs improvement, whether it's overgrown areas, bare patches, or outdated features. At Perkco Supply Inc. in Exeter, ME, we help you find affordable solutions for every garden challenge.

Start with a Plan

Before spending money, create a detailed plan:

Sketch your current garden layout
Identify areas that need the most attention
Prioritize projects based on impact and cost
Set a realistic budget and timeline

A good plan prevents costly mistakes and impulse purchases.

Work with What You Have

Many garden renovations can be done using existing resources:

Divide perennials - Split overgrown plants to fill bare spots
Propagate from cuttings - Create new plants for free
Relocate plants - Move plants to better locations
Compost - Create your own soil amendments

Shop Smart for Supplies

Stretch your budget with these tips:

Buy seeds instead of mature plants
Shop end-of-season sales for perennials
Look for local plant swaps and garden club sales
Purchase in bulk for better prices on mulch and soil
