Interesting Garden Decorations
Aug 25th
If you are looking to decorate your garden beyond the obvious beautiful and colorful flowers you can choose, then you have a surprising number of options available at your disposal to increase the ‘wow factor’ of your outdoor space. Garden decoration nowadays is about more than just a well selected array of colorful flowers. It’s about all of the little ‘extras’ that can be placed in and around the garden to add that extra special touch, in much the same way that accessories complete a room after the main pieces of furniture have been selected.
One option for adding beauty, as well as functionality, to your garden is by tucking an interesting looking wooden garden bench amongst the plants and foliage. This can be anything from a quaint and rustic bench made from sticks and branches to a sleek and contemporary design made from teak. It can be homemade or store bought, large or small, delicate or hearty. The exact style doesn’t quite matter, as long as the look of it is pleasing to the eye. Adding a bench creates a beautiful contrast among the surrounding delicate flowers, and in addition to the aesthetic benefits it can offer, it also provides you with a relaxing place in which to enjoy the beauty of your garden.
Other accessories that can add interest include things like an eye catching statue that is nestled among the flowers, a quaint fountain that will attract birds and will provide a tranquil respite from the everyday world, a set of wind chimes that will add sound to the visual beauty of your garden or even a few small plaques that can be interspersed between your plantings to provide some visual interest or a reminder to enjoy the moment. Plaques are a great way to personalize the space because they can easily be made on your own, or you can even place one made by a child amongst your garden, as a reminder of all things that are beautiful and special to you.
Select A Deck Canopy
Aug 9th
Without any question, one of the great joys of living in a home is being able to enjoy the fresh air and peaceful atmosphere that one does sitting in their yard and relaxing. Installation of deck canopies can maximize that time spent by providing cover and protection from any negative weather issues. In most cases, these items are usually made from either canvas or metal and also are retractable so the user can adjust for different situations easily. Installation is basically a very simple procedure that even someone not particularly handy can usually successfully complete within a day. All large home improvement stores carry a complete line of these products, so the person seeking it will have a wide variety to select from.
One known manufacturer of various deck related sun canopy is a company called Shade Tree. They produce a number of various style deck canopies but their biggest seller is a model known as the Capri, and a major reason for its success is the simplicity of installation. There are just a limited number of parts involved and basically the unit is simply mouned on the wall. The composition of this Capri model is aluminum which helps to offer added cover from the elements. The capacity is large enough to cover an area up to 60 feet wide, and with the unit being able to extend out some 20 feet, there is substantial coverage available. Some consider this model a bit pricey at roughly $2000, but inrelation to the amount of protection it provides, this is certainly within line.
Without any question, there are many models on the market less expensive that will serve the intended purpose at a much more reasonable cost. Most of the larger stores will offer what are referred to as non-designer models, which will adequately get the job done well. An example of this is a stainless steel offering by Target, that is about 16 feet in width, and can be made to extend out about 10 feet so that ample coverage is provided suitable to most. A unit such as this will sell for about $900. This particular item, as well as most of those sold at major retailers like Target, is available with a warranty that covers the first year, assuring the purchaser some peace of mind while they are getting used to their new addition. Also, for anyone concerned with perhaps not being comfortable performing the installation of the product on their own, most of the retailers where the purchase is made, can furnish a list of installers that one can speak to about getting the job done.

Noodlehead Flexible Lawn Sprinkler
Apr 12th
Generally, an automatic watering system can provide a lawn with excellent water coverage. However, there are cases where a sprinkler system has pockets where water is distributed unevenly, resulting in certain parts of the lawn becoming unhealthy or dying. To remedy this issue, some people use hose-powered sprinklers to direct water on an area that needs it. The problem with many of those systems is that their spray streams are not adjustable. These sprinklers often spray water where it isn’t needed, such as on the driveway or in the street. The Noodlehead Flexible Lawn Sprinkler solves this problem by providing users with adjustable noodle-like spray heads that can be pointed with precision.
The Noodlehead watering system uses many adjustable noodle sprayers to provide lawn coverage. The unit attaches to any garden hose and can be placed on the ground, mounted to a Noodlehead riser, or screwed onto an overhang. The Noodlehead system provides superior coverage over other sprinklers because it is so flexible. Each noodle can be pointed in its own direction to cover both standard and odd shaped areas. After you flex each noodle, they stay exactly where you put them. The Noodlehead system saves you money and time by only sending water where it’s needed.
There are many mounting options for the Noodlehead. The simplest one is to place it directly into the yard. Noodlehead also offers mounts in three different sizes which elevate the unit off the ground and above the foliage for better coverage. When placed on a secure mount, the system will distribute water in the same direction every day. Changes can be made instantly by re adjusting the noodles. You can even send water to separate areas of the yard, such as a garden on one end and a flower bed on the other. This is truly an all-in-one watering solution.

Which Color Patio Cushion?
Mar 10th
If you are looking for replacement patio cushions for your garden furniture, you will find quite a lot of options available in terms of color. You could, of course, stick with the color of your old cushions but it is a good time to go for a change and then, at least, everyone will know you have new cushions after you spend your hard earned money on them.
You will have a choice of plain or patterned. Plain patio cushions, whatever color they are, give your furniture a simple, streamlined look but as soon as they get a bit grubby or you spill something on them, it will be immediately obvious. If you have a messy family go with a patterned patio cushion!
Once you decide whether you want plain or patterned, you can think about the main color or colors in your cushions. The color and style if your furniture will dictate this in some cases. If your patio set is painted or colored in any shade other than a neutral color you need to make sure you take this into account.
For example, if you have dark green resin furniture, patio cushions with a green stripe in a similar or toning shade would work well or you could use a plain contrast color such as cream. Whatever, you do, don’t go for plain green patio cushions which match your chairs exactly as this would be too much of a good thing.
On the other hand, if you have natural teak or wicker garden furniture, you can choose just about any color under the sun to go with it and it will not look wrong.
When selecting cushions, try and find a pattern or color which will allow you to pick out matching accessories for your patio such as parasols, plant pots, scatter cushions or a throw. This helps give your whole patio a coordinated look by tying your color scheme together.
