Personalize Your Patio
Invite your interior personal style to the outdoors. Include vintage shelving as planters, contoured lines and accents to match your interior. Re-purposed and recycled materials are a great resource to bring the indoors feel to your backyard living room.
Create An Eco-Friendly Wildlife Haven
The birds and the bees and the butterflies. What a fun way to help pollinate your garden while enjoying nature right in your backyard. Planting berries, succulent aromatic flowers and bird seed will help attract butterflies and birds to help control insects and provide a mini sanctuary for these creatures.
