Other Architectural Ornamentation
Try to balance architectural structures with the natural shrubs and trees in the garden.The straight lines and synthetic colours of a modern architectural structure will encourage a sense of familiarity with the organic forms in the garden.
Trellises and Obelisks
Use high trellises to block any unsightly views that you may have from your garden.Most gardens will have something in the surrounding area that you’d prefer wasn’t there.By placing a structure in front of the eyesore you will block it from your view altogether.A trellis covered in clinging vines will be great for this purpose.

Landscape Lighting
Make the most of your garden by experiencing it at all times of day and night.By installing simple lights on trees and other plants, you can create a beautiful setting which can even be romantic and enticing.It’s not just permanent lights that will work in the garden.Fairy lights are great for draping over bushes, you can also use candles or lanterns around the lawn to beautiful effect.It is also worthwhile having lights in the garden to deter burglars.
