WOTS THE BEST WAY TO DO IT?

Best way is to have a wild area around the edge and in the corners where the frogs and toads can hide during the day. That way you have a tidy looking central area that they can visit at night. If you let leaves pile up in corners then you'll have an ideal hibernaculum for toads through the winter. Piles of stones and logs will also provide good refugia and hibernacula.
