Winter’s a distant memory, and now the weather’s really picking up. With all the sunshine we’re enjoying, you’ll probably want to use your garden before the weather turns south again! Although lounging around in the sun is nice enough, you might feel that your garden as a whole is a bit lackluster. If you want to fix this, then here are some great features to consider.

The first thing you should look into is water features. These are among the most common focal points in a garden, for one simple reason: they look great! There are any number of different kinds to choose from, so you won’t have any trouble finding one that fits with your tastes and budget. A ring-around style fountain looks great when it’s surrounded by deep greens and duller annuals. You can even make one yourself with a pump, some sealant and an old plant pot. If you really want to splash out, then get a small pond for your garden. These add a gorgeous touch of tranquility to any garden. Although a pond might seem like a big hassle, there are certain designs you can build over a weekend!

Sculpture is another popular focal point. Again, this is because they can be absolutely beautiful. They’re also a lot easier to install than any water feature which uses a pump. If you’re happy with a classic look, then some ancient Greek style statues are probably the best way to go. These should be available at any garden center, and go effortlessly well with any kind of plant life.

If you want to be more unique, or just stick to your budget, then abstract metal sculptures could be a good idea. These are becoming more popular amongst gardeners, and there’s a wide range to choose from. If you have a wall bordering your garden, then mount some intriguing art piece to it. Just make sure to consider the surrounding color scheme when you’re picking out the kind of metal you’re going to use.

Perhaps you know your garden looks amazing, but you want to make it easier to relax in. If this is the case, then you may want to choose a feature with a more practical side to it. Large tables are always a great thing for when you’re having barbecues. Alternatively, you can get an outdoor furniture unit that’s a little more open. For the ultimate chill-out deck, I recommend looking at some outdoor firepits. I don’t know what it is, but a fire can keep any night going much longer! You can get these for fairly cheap, and once they’re set up you’ll get years of use out of one. All you need after that is some wood, marshmallows, and lots and lots of beer!

Consider these three focal points for your garden. It’s remarkable how one great feature can make an empty garden feel much more inviting and complete. Take a look at the space available to you, and the current style of your garden. It won’t take long to find the perfect focal point!
