Summary: Cherie Barber, Australia’s Top Renovator, reveals to us a quick, simple and cost effective way to move from novice landscaper to seasoned expert with her one simple tip on raising garden beds to improve the value of her well-regarded TV renovation projects. Hi I’m Cherie from Renovating for Profit Now, for viewers of Stuart Zadel, I thought this month I’d film a quick video about what I do with my garden beds. As many of you know, one of the great ways to add value is to improve the landscaping. The great Australian dream is the BIG backyard. But unfortunately, your front and rear yard tend to be the most neglected area of a property. I want to share with you what I’d do with my garden beds. If you’re renovating a property and it’s a low budget cost renovation, you don’t need to go elaborate landscaping lengths. You can actually get a good look, make your property look neat and tidy without spending much money at all. What I do with my low budget TV renovation is install treated pine sleepers. Now you can pick this up from many of the major hardware stores for anywhere between $ 8-12 for a 2.4 metre length. Now, here’s where a lot of people go wrong. A lot of people buy the treated pine sleepers and they actually install them flat, and that’s perfectly fine. But what it really doesn’t help you with is accomplishing bulk and scale. What I do with my renovation is turn them up on their edge. What I’m doing is, I’m giving the garden beds height which is technically called, adding bulk and scale to your property. Just by turning them up on their side you’re beefing up the property; making it look like it’s more substantial quality than what it really is. And this gives you the ability to back fill it with garden mulch, plants and pebbles as well. So a handy little hint that I find very useful for my low budget cosmetic renovation. I hope you find it valuable too. See you next month.
