Create an outdoor structure in your garden that enhances the beauty of your space.
An outdoor structure can bring a space to life by creating defined spaces in your garden, providing a centralized focal point for an otherwise scattered ecosystem, and adding additional levels of interest to otherwise standard designs. These structures are easy to build and require minimal materials, so you'll get it done quickly. Choose from the examples below for inspiration:
If you're tired of rummaging through your house for the potting soil and watering can build a potting station outside. It will keep your tools and supplies in one place, making it easier to maintain your garden. You'll also be able to sit down and enjoy your garden, instead of crouching on the ground.
A patio can complement a garden by creating a space for entertaining or simply relaxing. You'll enjoy being outdoors even more with a nice place to sit. Keep in mind that most patios should be surrounded by plants because they create natural walls, which can be more attractive than using fencing.
Trellises are great for hanging plants and vines so that they grow up instead of out. This allows you to maximize the available space while providing you with decorations like flowers and herbs. You can create a trellis from wood, metal or even bamboo, depending on your tastes and the type of plants you want to grow.
Pergolas are a great way to increase the beauty of your garden by creating an extension. You can string lights, add benches or tables for seating, add pots of flowers and even craft your own pots for plants that grow in containers. A pergola will provide a shaded area, while still allowing some sunlight through, where you can relax looking over your garden.
If you live in a family-friendly neighborhood, a gazebo can create a comfortable gathering spot. Gather around on the porch or swing into your favorite chair inside, and relax on warm evenings.
A summer house is a great way to add additional living space to a backyard, while still maintaining its aesthetic. It can be as large or small as you would like and can have multiple purposes, such as a summer kitchen where you can take meals, store food, do your laundry and cook. It also provides a private area where you can practice a hobby like painting or playing an instrument.
Outdoor sofas are great for lounging around on really hot days or on cool evenings. You can bring a few cushions out to the garden and enjoy an evening of relaxation in the shade with friends and family. It's also nice for picnics.
Creating a pond is one of the easiest structures you can create in your garden. A pond is attractive and provides a natural habitat that will attract all kinds of wildlife into your garden. You can even pick up goldfish at the pet store to add to your pond and enjoy the soothing sound of water moving in the background.
An outdoor firepit is an excellent place to gather with your family or friends. You can roast marshmallows over it, enjoy lovely, warm evenings together and even cook food on top of it.
Hopefully, one or more of these ideas will get your creative juices flowing. Start now and you will be ready to enjoy your garden when spring comes.
