Step Outside: Welcoming Spring Back into the Garden

Spring’s back and so is the garden. The grey skies are going 🤞, the evenings are stretching out, and it’s time to get outside again. Whether you’re planting, tidying edges, or getting ready for long nights with mates, here’s how to set your garden up this season with steel planters, edging, water features, outdoor fireplaces, and the Entertainer BBQ.

Bring shape back with steel edging

Corten steel edging is one of those quiet fixes that makes a big difference. It keeps lawns neat, paths defined, and garden beds sharp. Once it’s in you barely notice it, but everything around it looks tidier and more planned. Pair it with a few planters and you’ve got full control over the shape of your garden, curves, corners and all.

Let planters do the heavy lifting

A good planter does more than hold soil. It gives your garden structure. Corten steel planters hold their own even before anything’s growing in them, and they only get better with age as the steel weathers to that rich rust colour. Great for framing an entrance, lining a deck, or filling an awkward corner with something that actually looks good.

Add movement with water

Water changes the whole feel of a space. Even a small steel water feature, just enough to hear a trickle, brings life into a corner of the garden. It’s the sort of thing you don’t think you need until you’ve got one going while you’re having your morning coffee.

Bring in the fire

Nothing says spring evenings like a fire going. Our Corten outdoor fireplaces start off dark and slowly weather into that warm rusty colour, so they properly become part of the garden over time. Light one up and people gather round without being asked twice.

Cook and hang out at the same time

The Entertainer BBQ is built for spring and summer nights outside. The wide plate means you’re not stuck behind a lid on your own, you can cook shoulder to shoulder with mates while the fire’s going. Once dinner’s done, lift the plate off and the fire takes over, throwing heat and light across the deck for the rest of the night.

Spring is your cue to reset the garden, not just for the plants but for the people who’ll be out there with you all summer. Steel, fire and water. That’s really all you need to get it looking and feeling right.
