Hi!So I have these 4 tree trunks in my garden/patio but I'm not sure what to do with them? What would you do?(I put a brick next to them so you can see the size) Thank you!

Hi Melissa. I'm Cindy. I recommend that you begin by leveling your tree stumps. Then take the stakes off of three solar lights and attach the lights to the tops of the stumps. You could even attach the stumps together with rope. I love your patio area with all the picture frames. It's very creative. Good luck Melissa and Happy Holidays.
Plant stands! Use them to elevate some of your special plants. Place a lantern on them, just hang on to them, as they can be used for something. You could drill holes in them and install solar lights. Place a garden statue on them. You yard is really cute!
Maybe something like this planter.
I would rub the tops with sand paper, then paint it a bright colour. These could become little drink tables.
Another idea is to mosaic the tops.
Another you could hollow out and add a pot or soil for succulents.
Or drill holes throughout turn on its side and turn into a bug hotel.
Make a fire pit in your backyard, & use these as seats. (use a pillow if necessary, & roast hot dogs!
Here's some ideas... Good luck!

You have so many interesting items that you could put on top of the logs. Changing levels of things. Your picture frames bring the eye up and around the fence. One of the white cages up on a log in a place where there are no frames would bring the eye up again. You could mix it in with the potted plants that have thinned out.
If you use the logs make sure they are very dry and treat them with something to slow down rot. I'd put them on the pavers or a very thick layer of gravel. I placed logs like that in and and around our garden directly on mulch just for looks. It's been 4-5 years and they are almost gone, bugs and rot. I was amazed at how quickly a huge ash log started to decay while we were trying to decide what to do with it.
I use them to elevate items I have on display in my yard. I placed a twig "bird's nest" with a bird in the center on one and placed a garden gnome at the foot of it. They're a lot cheaper than buying a stone pedestal for bird baths, etc. on.
