The three components to any landscape design are:

• The hard constructed landscape - paths, driveway, fence, gate, pergola, gazebo
• The soft landscape - plant material including the lawn
• Decorative accessories - (finish a design) wind-chimes, garden plaques, water features, birdbaths etc.

Small Accessories

• Candles - will romantically light up your patio in the evening.
• Resin or Concrete - look for turtles, frogs, birds, angels etc. that can be tucked into any corner of your garden. Plaques can be hung on a bare wall or fence to give added depth.
• Planters - will decorate a flat surface with flare. They can also be hung or arranged in groups of varying sizes.

Medium Size Accessories

• Torches - can be positioned anywhere and are nice for evening illumination and mystery.
• Sculptures will look at home in gardens of any size and have a very natural look when placed among foliage.
• Concrete Figures - sundials on pedestals, oriental lanterns, birdbaths, and/or bronze herons are all special accent pieces.
• Water - has a very soothing sound. Try a resin wall fountain or a tiered fountain. This will add a dramatic note to any courtyard, deck, or garden area. These are available in natural grey concrete and coloured finishes that can be coordinated with your own personal colour scheme.

Large Scale Accessories

• Patio Furniture - an important addition to your garden, deck or balcony.
• Patio Umbrella - this will provide shade for those hot summer days.
• Bistro Set - great for small spaces.
• Swing or Glider - lovely addition if you have a porch or deck.
• Adirondack Chairs - place a couple on your lawn or under a mature tree.
• Hammocks - a relaxing accessory. Place one between a couple of trees or on its own stand.
• Garden Bench - can be placed anywhere. Available in cast aluminum, wood, concrete and can be left out year-round.
• Arbours/Obelisks - these add a powerful vertical feature to a garden design and great framework for growing vines.
