Types Of Garden Features Adelaide Residents Use Visual Landscape Gardening To Install.
When looking at adding a focal point, or feature to your garden, most people’s thoughts would go to adding a bird bath or statue, however if you’re looking at landscaping your front or back garden, there’s so much more that can be achieved.
Read on to see an array of garden features Adelaide residents have used landscapers from Visual Landscape Gardening to landscape their front and backyard garden, with feature areas and elements.
Low Maintenance Garden Features
Low maintenance gardens feature more these days as Adelaide residents look for ways to spend more time in their garden and less time working on it.
A garden path can create a strong focal point, making it an attractive feature to your garden area if careful thought and planning is put into the landscape design.
Clever use of river pebbles can create a stunning garden feature that is extremely low maintenance and a real conversation piece.

Statues are great to look at when they form part of an overall landscape design and can be as unique as you want them to be.
Tips On Selecting Garden Features:
The size of your garden area should be taken into account when selecting a feature or focal point. Privacy screens, vertical gardens and water wall features are great if you’re limited for space, especially if you have a courtyard home. With larger blocks, having a plan is a good place to start so one area leads into the next, allowing the eye to discover new and interesting features as you walk around. For those Adelaide residents that like living and entertaining outdoors, spa areas, fire pits and pizza ovens make for practical garden features that can be set up to be enjoyed all year round and even at night!
