PREPARING YOUR GARDEN FOR SUMMER, THE NTH DEGREE WAY
As the days grow longer and the temperatures begin to rise, there's no better time to reimagine your outdoor space. British weather may keep us guessing, but one thing’s certain: with a little preparation, your garden can be summer-ready — and ready to impress.
Whether you're entertaining guests or creating a private sanctuary, thoughtful updates now will make all the difference when the sunshine arrives.
TIDY & TRANSFORM
Start with the basics: a spring refresh. Remove weeds, trim back shrubs, and deadhead blooms to encourage fresh growth and clean lines. A neatly mown lawn with well-defined borders elevates the entire space, giving it a smart, intentional feel — perfect for outdoor entertaining.
PATIO, POLISHED TO PERFECTION
Your patio sets the stage for summer living. Clear away invasive weeds and sweep clean before washing down surfaces. A pressure washer makes quick work of lifting winter grime, though a stiff brush and soapy water will also restore that fresh finish. The result? A space that’s clean, calm, and ready to style.
LOOKING AFTER TEAK OUTDOOR FURNITURE
When it comes to outdoor furniture, teak is an enduring favourite for good reason. Left untreated, it ages beautifully into a silvery-grey patina. For those who prefer to maintain its golden hue, we recommend our teak maintenance kits — available in light, medium, and dark tones to suit your aesthetic. They include everything you need to care for your furniture with confidence.
PROTECTING YOUR PIECES YEAR-ROUND
Custom fit protective furniture covers make all the difference. Our tailored outdoor furniture covers are designed to fit each piece in our collection — from dining chairs to coffee tables — offering protection through the cooler months. Come summer, simply uncover, and your setup is good to go.
FRESHENING UP CUSHIONS
Outdoor cushions benefit from a little seasonal care. Ours are made with moisture-resistant fabrics, designed to stand up to the elements. For a quick refresh, spot-clean with warm water, mild soap, and a dash of white vinegar. Allow to air dry for a crisp, clean look that feels like new.
FIND YOUR FLOW
How you arrange your outdoor furniture can elevate the entire experience. Hosting friends? Centre your space around a dining table for elegant al-fresco moments. Prefer something more relaxed? Let a coffee table and low seating create an informal, sociable hub. Or for moments of solitude, position a lounge chair to face your garden’s best view — ideal for slow mornings with a book or evening unwinding.
ELEVATE YOUR OUTDOOR LIVING
Whether you're refining a compact courtyard or redesigning a generous garden, our collections are designed to elevate every space. From the architectural presence of our N1 Collection, to the breezy, tactile feel of N2, and the sculptural beauty of Pietra Collection, there’s a style to suit every setting.
