WASH UP: Clear away any debris. This includes leaves, twigs and dirt that have accumulated over the winter.

There’s no need to splash out on expensive cleaners for your patio or decking, instead make a mild soap and water solution and a brush to make it shine.

GO GREEN: Plants make for a cheap way to decorate outdoors.

Aim for different heights and sizes to add character. Re-pot plants from flower beds, check local listings sites for plant sales and scour Amazon.co.uk for cheaper plant bundles.
