Stepping Stones for Your Backyard

Stepping stones and pavers come in a ton of different styles and colors. Don’t be afraid to step outside of the box and opt for a colorful stepping stone instead of a traditional brick color.

You can also stencil on a colorful pattern to your existing stones to spice up the look.

Garden Decor

There are a lot of different types of garden decor. From quirky little gnomes to birdhouses, to flamingos to windmills.

Don’t be afraid to add a few different decorations to your hedges or porch.

Patio Furniture

Sunshades, umbrellas, and other patio furniture can make a big impact. Umbrellas, sunshades, and furniture can be coordinated or not.

There’s most likely enough greenery around your yard to break up different colored elements. A nice bright yellow, bold blue or red are great options.
