Of course, the classic red brick wall deserves some love. While some people find this look dated, it’s the perfect match for any colonial or English garden design. Choose pre-worn or aged bricks in various shades of red for a softer farmhouse look.

Building a fountain or waterfall into your garden wall is a great way to create a peaceful outdoor living space. The same is true for a fireplace or bonfire pit. Be sure to position these elements in a central location where you and your guests can appreciate them.

Built-in garden lighting is both functional and atmospheric. Lanterns are a popular choice — choose solar-powered models to avoid messing with outdoor outlets and power cables. You can also use recessed lighting to illuminate steps or highlight the edge of your patio.

Don’t forget to play around with different materials in your garden wall design. For example, using different-colored stones can add much-needed dimension to a patio wall and walkway.

5. Raised Garden Wall Ideas

Landscapers will often place a vertical garden wall up against an existing fence, outbuilding, or your home’s exterior. Tiered retaining walls can completely transform your garden design while protecting the integrity of your lawn. The little nooks these walls create are the perfect settings.
