Taking to social media, Kathleen shared the before and after images of her garden to show off her hard work.
She wrote: "Really pleased with my little project my hubby and I did. A lot of sweat, I think we have done really well considering we don't like gardening."
Prior to the makeover, the garden was lacking any character with its brick and stone floors and a small white bench in the corner.
But Kathleen was quick to get to work adding some pink paving stones to add a splash of colour.
She also added pink bunting around the garden along with some pink plant pots.
She also added some solar lights, flamingos and fake flowers to brighten up the space that she bought from Home Bargains.
The gardening whizz then added some new chairs for herself and her husband and also created a small seating area for her two grandkids.
"Love my colour choice, now time to enjoy the sun in my pink garden," she wrote.
"The grandkids have got their little chairs to enjoy the sun."
The lovely and simple makeover left viewers seriously impressed.
