Pathway to the Door: A rustic or ancient kind of pathway starting from the main entrance of the property and leading all the way to the door of the house is forever in.

Lawn with Earthen Ware: There’s something about rural and countryside look when it comes to the coziness quotient of a residence. You can have a small lawn if your verandah or garden area in the front of your home is not very big and place medium sized earthen ware (preferably handicraft) in the corners. You may even arrange for lighting it up from within via electrical bulbs.
Create a Different Landmass: Stones and gravels add a rugged yet spa-like look to a property. You can choose from a variety of size, texture and colors in gravel. Small, white, marble-like, shiny stones can add glamour to the premise when there’s a lamppost just above it. You can also have small plants like cactus in sandy land.
Small Garden Fountains: I am talking about cute, small fountains made of white stone placed at the center of the garden or a small pond where you can grow lotus flowers too. These add class when placed appropriately in the garden; else it can mar the look. Expert landscaping contractors will know how to go about installing it.
Trees to Soundproof: Functional reasons of having trees in your yard are soundproofing, increasing privacy, making the environment cooler and fresher, possibility of having a swing hung from one of its branches for the kids to play, or build a tree house may be, etc.
