Your DIY Landscape: Simple Décor Adds Motion and More

You’ve plotted and planned, maybe for months. Your pathways and flower beds are exactly as you’d like them to be, yet it might seem as though something is missing. While strategically placed plants and colorful flowers can make your lawn or garden look like you hired a professional, some surprisingly simple decorative accents can help you take the look over to top, transforming your outdoor space into a welcoming oasis.

Hauling mulch and creating walkways can involve back-breaking labor, so you’ll welcome the opportunity to spend a little time deciding on the perfect finishing touches.  It’s very easy to create a water feature if you don’t have one already; a small fountain adds the soothing sound of flowing water to your space while offering easy maintenance. When you add a small water feature to your DIY landscape, you’re doing more than creating an ambient atmosphere for your own enjoyment: You’re also welcoming thirsty birds and pollinators!

Wind chimes bring a pleasing element of music to your garden, masking noise from passing traffic as they help your mind relax. There are so many options from which to choose: Some, for example, are designed to hang from trees or decorative shepherd’s hooks.

Staked wind chimes are popular, too. These come in a variety of shapes and sizes, allowing for imaginative placement anywhere you’d like to add a splash of color or a touch of soothing sound. Whether you prefer whimsical shapes, classic bells, or even a combination of both, you’ll find that our collection offers the perfect accent for your DIY landscape.

Wind spinners make wonderful additions to large and small landscapes alike. Lovely whether breezes are blowing or not, these small kinetic sculptures serve as fantastic focal points in rock gardens, flowerbeds, and more.

Smaller stakes, sculptures, and rain gauges add interest to as well – they’re wonderful for accenting the walkways and borders you’ve worked so hard to create. Meanwhile, hanging ornaments, rain chains, and wall décor give new life to fences, gates, and porches – and all of these take just moments to add to your landscape.

Wherever you place them, decorative touches make your lawn or garden an even nicer place to be! We’d love to hear from you: Which ones are your favorites?
