I transformed my council estate garden with paint and gravel – you don’t need to break the bank to get summer ready
WITH summer fast approaching, people up and down the country are looking to spruce up their outdoor space to enjoy the warmer weather.
Jodie is no exception to the rule and has taken to social media to document how she transformed her garden for the better… without breaking the bank to do it.
Posting a short clip of herself getting to work in her garden, Jodie first started by repainting the white door at the back of the house.
“Day 1 of the garden makeover,” she wrote over this.
She then spray painted her old, grotty wooden fence that surrounded the garden in a sleek grey colour.
“I bought myself a fence sprayer – yep, it’s faster than a brush, but I’ve used two tubs of paint already,” she explained. “Bearing in mind, I’ve only done five fence panels…”
Jodie then confessed she got “very impulsive” as she moved onto another job in the garden.
Sharing a clip of a man taking some tiles off the ground, Jodie said she was getting the space ready for her “flower garden”.
She then put the slate down, explaining that they didn’t have a wheelbarrow, “but you know, we’re on a council estate vibe here, come on”.
Jodie then placed some flower pots on the gravel, adding that she has “loads more flowers to plant”.
On her second day, Jodie painted the rest of her fence in white.
She then placed some small white fences in the garden to separate the tiles from the grass.
The lawn was also decked out with a slide as well as a trampoline for the kids to enjoy.
During her third and final day of the garden makeover, she cleaned out the gazebo from the algae that had grown and planted some grass seeds into the lawn.
She also had some garden furniture delivered for her gazebo, which she built over a green and white outdoor rug.
Viewers were left impressed with TikTok user @official_jodiee’s transformation as many took to the comments section to share their thoughts.
“I’ve ended up on garden makeover TikTok and I’m loving seeing what you’re all doing! Love the fence colour!” one person wrote.
Another said: “It’s actually looking really good haha fair play,” as a third shared: “Gave me inspiration thank you”.
A fourth added: “Looks mint, I’m in the middle of doing mine for summer x”.
