1. Stone Trails

Stone Trails

Appropriately-placed stones add a soft appeal to your garden, giving an inviting atmosphere to the surroundings. They don’t have to follow a direct path, but letting them be a bit wayward offers a chance for visitors to wander through your garden.

2. Hammocks

Hammocks

Your garden should be a place of relaxation, so why not give yourself the perfect place to relax? A hammock is a wonderful addition to your garden design, being both beautiful and practical!

3. Bridges

As a dainty and elegant way to dress up your garden, adding a small bridge brings a whimsical feel. Take advantage of any water sources that run through your garden, or add a bridge in a place where the soil makes it difficult to grow.
