AN EXPERTS OPINION

As an award winning landscape designer, DIY landscape expert and Adbri’s Brand Ambassador, Jason Hodges believes the Summer season for 2019-2020 is the perfect time to look outdoors to build new spaces for your entertaining.

“People overestimate the cost and effort involved in renovating the outdoors yet it is one of the easiest home improvement projects to tackle. One of the positives of investing in the backyard is that the outdoor room grows with us. As a contrast, when you renovate a bathroom, it will never again look as good as it does the day it is finished, it’s also really hard to change once it’s done. Compare that to an outdoor room that becomes more attractive with time as plants mature” says Jason Hodges.
