Honestly, one thing that helped me a lot was reaching out to local professionals who know exactly what plants and layouts thrive in our area. I found some helpful advice about Landscapers in Duncan, BC that gave me ideas on how to combine shrubs, flower beds, and even some stone pathways in a way that looks natural and cozy. I decided to add a small fire pit and some potted plants near the seating area, and it totally transformed the vibe. I also experimented with fairy lights, which added a really nice touch in the evenings, making it feel warm and inviting for friends or even just quiet nights alone.
