But instead of forking out for pricey wood, she decided to upcycle old items she had lying about in her house.
The DIY whizz revealed she had some old Ikea folding doors knocking about, so she decided to use them instead.
Liz said: “Used old IKEA doors and sticky back plastic murals from Temu for the frieze to make a focal point”
The black doors were sealed shut and Liz then added the stick-on murals to each door.
The cheap and effective decoration is currently on sale at Temu for £8 instead of £30.
She revealed she used screws to fix the doors to the top and bottom of the brick wall to keep them upright.
The gardening pro also pointed out that her plants were still growing despite the doors blocking the light out.
“Plants still growing so the lighting will soften on the house,” she said.
To finish the garden makeover, she added plenty of twinkling fairy lights around the border of the doors and along the wall of the house.
was shared on the Facebook group, Garden Makeover Ideas On A Budget, and people were in awe of her DIY skills.
One person wrote: “Stunning, love it. What a great original idea to do that with the doors!”
Another commented: “It’s lovely I love the lights.”
“Beautiful,” penned a third.
Rules on fences and trees
Fences:
Height Restrictions: In most areas, fences in front gardens should not exceed one metre in height without planning permission. For rear gardens, the limit is generally two metres. Shared Fences: If a fence is shared with a neighbour, both parties are typically responsible for its maintenance and any costs associated with repairs or replacement. Building Regulations: Ensure that any new fence complies with local building regulations and does not obstruct visibility for drivers or pedestrians.Trees:
Ownership: Trees located on your property are your responsibility, including any damage they may cause. Conversely, trees on a neighbour’s property are their responsibility. Overhanging Branches: You are entitled to trim branches that overhang into your property, but only up to the boundary line. The cut branches should be offered back to the tree owner. Protected Trees: Some trees are protected by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs). Check with your local council before undertaking any work on a tree, as unauthorised work can result in fines. Roots: If tree roots from a neighbour’s tree cause damage to your property, you have the right to remove the roots. However, it is advisable to discuss this with your neighbour first to avoid disputes.Always consult your local council or a legal adviser for specific regulations and advice.
