    We are continuing to finish off our garden with a small granite wall out the back of our site.

    Our entrance has a granite wall up a drive on either side and then the wall continues around either side of house and then out back we have built an L-Shaped garage and put in play area and access to our farm so we are building the wall to fit in with this.

    We would like to add some features to break the wall for e.g.

    granite slab seat
    maybe water feature like a farmstyle trough!


    Just wondering if anyone could recommend any other features that we could include. I am not able to find much luck through google!

    Thank you

    built in barbecue that you will never use?
    built in deep flower boxes for summer bedding plants?

    A stile, to give access to the land behind, at a suitable spot to bring guests on an interesting farm walk.

    I like the idea of the Stile alright and we could possible do that out our back yard as we have a gate out towards our farm and it would be more where the wall ends alright!

    Thanks for those.

    We were thinking of adding a granite trough with old time hand pump as a feature?
