We were quoted thousands to revamp our garden so did a DIY glow

A PAIR of DIY pros have revealed how they saved themselves thousands by doing up their garden themselves - even building their own posh decking.

With summer well and truly on its way, many of us have been out in the garden, trying to tidy it up in time for barbecue season.

However, TikTokkers @weir_home decided their outdoor space needed a little more than a few new plants and a jetwash.

But after being quoted thousands by professionals, the pair decided to tackle the job themselves.

They said: "Garden through the stages…

"We got quoted ridiculous amounts to landscape the garden so thought why not do ourselves - so happy with how it turned out."

During the 33-second reel, the pair shared a glimpse at their garden before.

Their square backyard was mostly covered in patchy grass, some areas taken over by weeds.

A bog-standard wooden fence divided their space from their neighbours, while a small patio natural stone patio lay along one edge.

As part of their budget glow-up, the pair started by digging up the existing lawn, replacing it with a brand new turf.

They then turned their attention to their fence, giving it a fresh look with a lick of Cuprinol Garden Shades Exterior Woodcare paint in the shade Natural Stone.

Shoppers can pick this up from various retailers, including B&Q, with prices starting at just £10.99.

Next, they began work on a decking area to run on the opposite side of their garden, parallel to their home.

To do this, they built a rectangular base out of wooden battens to sit on top of their new lawn, before covering the top with pine decking panels.

To tie in with their neutral-themed interior, the pair gave it a couple of coats of Cuprinol Anti-Slip Decking Stain in the shade City Stone, available to buy at Wickes for as little as £20.

Around their decking, the pair added a wooden border and some luxe-looking white pebbles.

They finished off the space with a rattan sofa, and matching coffee table, and cosy-looking egg chair.

They also decided to add some lanterns to the back fence, and some LED lights around the edge of their DIY deck.

For a little extra touch, they also secured some artificial plant panels from Amazon to one fence. The Warmiehomy Artificial Hedges Panels are still available to order online for just £32.99.

Fans loved the finished result, with the makeover gaining more than 560 likes and 14,100 views.
