Costs in a garden have a tendency to sneak up on us, but with a little forethought and the right choices, you can vastly increase the value for money you spend.
Gardens can be relatively cheap or very expensive. Unlike most other things we buy though, most of us tend not to think about the full cost of what we do in our garden.
If you answered ‘yes’ or ‘don’t know’ to any of these questions, maybe it’s time to think about working out a garden budget.
The Budget
Gardening should be part of your household budgeting. Like your household budget, it requires realistic estimates of how much you can afford to spend, what you would like to buy, and what you need to buy. A garden budget will also help you to control those impulse purchases that you might later regret.
Remember, an attractive garden can add to the value of your property. Money wisely spent on improving your garden adds to your quality of life and is also a sensible financial investment.
Having a Plan
Many people simply let their gardens ‘happen’. If you have a garden plan, you can work out what tasks need to be done and in what order to do them. This can make budgeting much easier.
Plans can be either a drawing of how you would like your garden to look, a list of priorities for the garden, or a combination of both. Once you have this, you can work out how much each item is going to cost and whether you can afford it.
Set-Up Costs
Costs for establishing a new garden or rejuvenating parts of an old garden are much greater than ongoing maintenance expenses. Set-up costs include things like:
For each category, you will need to work out a realistic budget. If your budget is limited, you may need to choose between using cheaper materials (e.g. recycled, seconds, second-hand, home-made) or using better materials but less of them (e.g. having a smaller paved area, smaller pond, or fewer plants).
Maintenance Costs
All gardens require maintenance, but the cost of maintenance can be greatly reduced by making the right design choices. Some examples are as follows:
Here are just some of the ongoing costs you may need to spend money on to keep a garden looking good:
Keep these costs in mind when you design the garden, and you will be able to minimize the long term cost of your garden maintenance.
