1. Log Border Flower Bed
Stones, horizontal wooden beams and concrete are known as common flower bed borders. Now, how about vertical logs? Yes, vertical logs! You know, injecting a bit of the unexpected and unusual sometimes delights your senses. So, let me give you two eye-catching reasons to try this: one, the height of the border. Two, look at that silver-white hue of the wood!

2. A Rocky Flower Garden
Don’t this lush vegetation and substantial rocks create a feast for your eyes? It’s a patchy garden that combines low-lying blooms, lush vegetation and rocks. And what came out of it is really soothing to the eye and the soul!

3. Sculpted Shrubs
Do you know what evokes the magic of an English garden? Trimmed hedges! If you are looking for a little twist on this classic technique, you can try planting these shrubs inside the flowerbeds. And then you’ll have to tame them into a sphere-like form for a contemporary look. Let your garden be full of charm!

4. Cascading Vegetation
Do you want texture and length in your garden? One approach is that you can add “Silver Falls” dichondra to make that effect. Other than serving as a silvery ground cover, it also simplifies the irresistible hanging off a tall perch. Nobody said glittering waterfalls have to be liquid, right?

5. Grid Path
Pathways are a way to create movements around your garden. They are functional and enhance your outdoor space if you take the time and make those walkways as beautiful as your imagination. You can leave some room in between the stones instead of placing the concrete tiles side by side. It’s shown in the image below. It will become lush once you have filled it with grass.

6. Plant and Stone Pathways
If stepping stones in your garden lead you through dirt rather than grass, you can try filling the space in between. With what? Low-lying plants will be good. Even if they grow over the stones, the result will definitely be stunning.
Low-lying plants are not the only way you can fill the pathways. You can add some rocks to the mix as well! It looks so natural and pebbles create a modern look. When you combine them with rectangular walkway tiles, it will create a whole new and unique visual experience for you.

7. Footpath as Flower Bed
What if your garden paths were framed as purposefully as the flowerbeds? Creating borders for a walkway makes attractive tiles even more prominent, especially when the stone is dark and surrounded with white pebbles. The best part: You don’t have to mow or fertilize these outdoor pathways!

Gardens are quiet places of contemplation, and nothing promotes this thoughtfulness like a welcoming place to sit. Don’t hesitate to keep it simple! A slab of concrete can become a modern bench!

10. Birdbaths and Fountains
Remember that water features don’t have to be fancy to make an impact. Birdbaths and fountains are lovely garden additions, especially when given prominent placement. For example, a layer of polished stones can create an ideal bed for a ground fountain.
