The great Aussie summer is still a few months away, which means you have time to add a few features to boost the appeal of your outdoor living space. Summer is the season for entertaining and with that in mind, here are a few cool garden features to brighten up your garden.

2. Water fountain

There is something very soothing about the sound of running water and whether you fancy a waterfall and rockery or a centrally located water fountain, your local landscape garden contractor has you covered.

3. Water wall

There are indoor and outdoor water walls and with colored LED lighting in the background, you can create a warm and inviting ambiance in the hot summer evenings. The device features a water pump and a bottom tray for collecting and recycling water in a loop. The unit can easily be relocated should you wish to change the position and the reflection of the light brings a Disney-like ambience.

4. Pergola 

The ultimate in rest is an authentic timber pergola with vines and creepers creating a natural feature that will be the highlight of your garden. There are places in Australia that sell the best pergolas and can make them exactly how you want them. Look up a supplier’s website and pick a design that works for you. The unit will be brought and set up before you know it.

5. Hardwood deck 

If you don’t have a deck, why not have a seasoned hardwood deck designed and installed by a local landscape contractor? A cool place for rest, your deck is the perfect feature to kick back and enjoy the great Aussie summer. If you don’t fancy the maintenance that comes with hardwood, you can choose a composite material that looks and feels like real timber but needs no maintenance. Get some durable outdoor furniture and a few sunshades and you are ready for the summer.

There are many fine outdoor features that you could install in your garden and we hope that the above ideas help you to make the right choices and arrange a garden that is perfect for the coming summer. Home improvements add both comfort and value to your property and there is still time to get everything ready for the great Australian summer.
