A Garden Building or Summerhouse: Your Very Own Garden Retreat

As you start to declutter your garden and clean up any mess that has accumulated during the Winter period, you may start to notice that you have more space than you imagined. Picture having a tranquil retreat right in your back garden —a garden building or summerhouse where you can escape, read a book, or savour a cup of tea. Here at MKM, we offer an array of garden buildings and Summerhouses that can double up as a home gym, a work from home office or even just a place to shelter from the sun, when it finally arrives.
Whether you are looking for a small summerhouse or larger garden building, you can easily browse our range online for delivery straight to your door.

Sheds: Stylish Solutions for Your Storage Woes

Gardens can get a bit messy, can't they? That's where our great quality range of sheds come in handy! Regardless of garden size, we have a shed to match your garden style and budget. With our sheds, you can securely arrange your tools, store your pots, and create a clutter-free space that is as pleasing as it is functional.

Most of our sheds are pressure treated meaning that the treatment gives the shed a 25-year anti-rot guarantee, giving you maintenance freedom.

Pent style roofs are angled to one side meaning that it is perfect for situating against a back wall of fence. Apex roofs are traditional and allow the interior space to be used to the greatest storage potential.

You’ll find that the range of sheds have re-enforced Z-style doors, this means that the backing of the door is strengthened with extra timber for rigidity, which comes in handy in windy weather!

Choose from a double door or single door sheds depending on how much room for manoeuvre you need, typically double door sheds are better for storing larger items such as bikes or garden furniture in the Winter season. Opt for single windows or double windows depending on how much light you need in the shed.

We also have smaller storage units available from log stores to large outdoor stores that are perfect for lawn mowers, bikes, and gardening tools. Opt for installation if you wish for the shed to be delivered and installed whilst you sit back and relax.

 

 

Decorative Aggregates: Small cost, big impact.

Decorative aggregates are a great way to add a touch of character to your garden without breaking the bank. They are a quick and affordable way to give your garden a facelift. 

Perhaps start by designating areas that could do with a face lift, maybe around the base of that new shed or create a pathway from one section of the garden to another, finished off with some paving slabs.

Borders can be created around the edge of your garden, for example our decorative aggregates pair perfectly with sleepers that can create the most stunning planters around the edge of a garden or simply a section of the lawn.

Don’t forget to add weed membrane to stop those pesky weeds from appearing later on.

 

 

Paving and Jointing Compounds: Crafting the Ideal Garden Path or Patio

Paths and patios are the heart of any garden design, and at MKM, we realize the significance of getting them spot on. That's why we provide a variety of user-friendly paving and jointing compounds to help you craft the ideal path or patio. With our products, precision is guaranteed, ensuring a flawless finish that will leave your neighbours green with envy.

Packing away and de-cluttering means that you can envision your space with a clear mind, perhaps that section near the door would look great with an edging path or expand your indoor area outdoors with a charming patio.

We have a whole range of paving available to suit any home and garden space, from sleek porcelain pavers such as Serenity and Modella to the welcoming traditional feel of natural stone.

The details matter, and that’s why we offer a range of jointing compounds, cleaners and sealers from Azpects. Keep your paving looking magnificent with a cleaner to remove imperfections, then seal to restore colour and protect against the weather.

 

 

Artificial Grass: A Hassle-Free Alternative to Natural Grass

Tired of dealing with unruly, patchy grass? Consider an alternative—MKM's range of artificial grass.

Artificial grass means less maintenance, especially suitable for smaller gardens. No more unwanted you can simply sit back and enjoy the life-like greenery. Available in varying widths and pile depths.

 

 

Fencing: Battered and Blown by the Winter Weather

We have a quick and easy fix for tired looking fences, with a range of fencing available to suit any garden.

Decorative fencing adds character and charm, made from timber which provides strength to the elements. These panels are easy to install and provide great aesthetics to your garden. They are pressure treated but can still be prone to the elements such as strong winds.

Featheredge fencing is made up of vertical timber panels that partially overlap giving the panel the appearance of a feathered edge. This type of fencing provides versatility and flexibility, it is pressure treated and is perfect for projects with uneven surfaces. Finish off with a lick of paint for a customised finish.

Composite fencing is made from a combination of recycled plastic and reclaimed wood fibres. Composite is long lasting and provides ultimate strength to your garden border, with less upkeep required. We have a great range available from Durapost which is renowned for it’s excellent quality: Contact your local branch for more information on composite fencing and decking.

 

 

Garden lighting: Make the most of your newly improved garden

As the days stretch longer and warmer temperatures beckon us outdoors, it's the perfect time to turn our attention to the often-overlooked aspect of garden design – lighting. Garden lighting not only enhances the aesthetics of your outdoor space but also extends the usability of your garden well into the evening:

Path Lights:

Path lights serve both practical and decorative purposes. They guide your way through the garden while adding a touch of charm. These fixtures are available in various styles and can be solar-powered, making them an energy-efficient choice.

Spotlights and Uplighting:

Illuminate specific features in your garden, such as Summerhouses, fountains, or architectural elements, with spotlights or uplighting. This technique adds depth and drama to your landscape, creating focal points that stand out against the night sky.

Deck and Patio Lights:

Extend your outdoor living space by incorporating decking and patio lights. These fixtures can be installed on the surface or built into the structure, providing subtle yet effective lighting for night time gatherings or quiet moments of relaxation.

Floodlights:

Floodlights are excellent for illuminating larger areas of your garden. Use them to brighten up entertaining spaces, play areas, or to enhance the security of your property. Motion sensor options are a practical choice for added safety. We have a range of solar floodlights available, so you don’t even have to think about this adding to your electricity bill!

Garden lighting transforms your outdoor space into a magical retreat. The soft glow creates a cozy and inviting atmosphere, making it the perfect setting for alfresco dinners or gatherings with friends.

Well-lit gardens are safer to navigate, reducing the risk of trips and falls. Additionally, strategic lighting can act as a deterrent to potential intruders, enhancing the security of your property. With the right lighting, you can enjoy your garden long after the sun sets. Create a tranquil oasis for unwinding after a hectic day or host memorable evening gatherings under the stars.
