1. Add A Wishing Well

If you want to add charm to your garden or yard, look into the wishing well plan. Placing an elegant wishing well in the middle of the yard as an ornament or as a planter in the garden can create an appealing focal point and add endless fun and whimsy. With such a cool wishing well, who wouldn’t want one?

2. Install A Retractable Awning

There are plenty of possible shade options you can invite into your backyard to keep the sun from beaming down on you too harshly. If you don’t have time to plant trees or invest in a garden gazebo, a retractable awning may be your better bet. The main perk is the flexibility to adjust sun exposure at any time, creating ample coverage for a picnic or a lazy day outdoors.

3. Hang A Swing

Nothing quite beats the romance of a swing. Hang the swing in the shade of a large tree and add cushions or pillows for comfort. Hold your sweetheart in one hand and your cold drink in the other, kick off your shoes, and swing. Or snuggle. Talk until the fireflies come out and the kids ask “What’s for dinner?” Enjoy a nice afternoon.

Do you want to entertain large groups in your garden? The possibilities for a backyard oasis are endless with patio conversation sets. A spacious table and some comfy chairs provide multiple family seating for meetings or intimate conversations, making the basic stone patio quickly become a second family room. When complemented with the right conversation furniture, even small spaces such as balconies and pocket gardens will beckon you outside.

Nothing creates a convivial atmosphere in your outdoor living area like fire, and a little warmth means your outdoor space is also suitable for all seasons, especially during the cooler months or evenings.

What's more relaxing than talking with friends or family by the fire or hugging your partner while staring at the flames?
