If you like to use your patio, deck or back-yard for reading, or just relaxing, a wooden garden storage bench can be a wise choice as a comfortable seat and storage unit for back-yard tools, childrens’ toys or soccer balls and the like. Depending on how the wood has been treated, you may want to keep it out of the rain and snow as it might not do well with harsh weather conditions. Make sure to ask the salesperson’s advice first if you plan on keeping the bench out in the open.

Garden loppers
Garden loopers are a popular gardening tool used for thick branches, shrubs and brush that have grown out-of-bounds, requiring more strength to prune or cut. Because you need to use extra arm strength, try to do some of the lifting and clipping with support from your shoulder blades and keep your forearm and hand as straight as possible without bending your wrist to avoid soreness or strain.

Outdoor garden pergola
If you have put in a lot of blood, sweat and tears working on getting your backyard garden just right, take it one step further by adding a garden pergola. They come in a wide variety of colors, styles and finishes. Of course they are not just for the garden, as they can add privacy to your deck, patio or hot-tub.

Solar garden light set
Installing solar garden lights on each side of your walk way from the street to the front door can add almost instant curb appeal to your home at a relatively low cost. The light set is easy to install and because it runs off of batteries that are solar powered, you never have to worry about electrical wires hanging around or higher electrical bills.

Angel garden statues
A wonderful way to liven up the garden or front yard landscape is the addition of garden statues. Strategically placed around the flower beds, bushes and shrubs, a garden statue not only reflects the pride that you show towards making your property look good, but also part of your character. If you are a spiritual person you may have religious statues littered throughout your garden, but anyone can enjoy adorable cherub angel statues, no matter what their beliefs.
