Finding Garden Accents
There is nothing that personalizes your space more than garden and landscaping accents. They provide beauty, offer additional seating, increase the value of your property and make your garden more inviting.
The landscaping accents can include arbors, to provide for both seating and growing space for trailing plants and flowers, gazebos, statues and water features, as well as trellis and garden fencing. Landscaping features may also include stone tables, wicker furniture placed in just the perfect spot to watch the sunset, or to be near to the pleasurable gurgling of a nearby brook or water feature.
The perfect archway will make a wonderful entry
Selecting the proper feature, and the right place to put it is largely a matter of personal taste however a few general rules apply, and most of them are common sense considerations.
The arbor provides for some shade, however facing it toward the rising or setting sun in a very hot climate will make it virtually unusable in that summertime is the primary time of use. If you are seated there to enjoy the garden and blinded by a blazing sun, the use of it is both uncomfortable as well as impractical.
The Manchester stye arbor is a lovely seating area.
Your arbor seating will do best facing south or north, as opposed to east or westerly in direction. The Trellis which will house a plant that does well only in the full sun, won’t be well served when placed under the eaves of a garage which will block the sunlight nearly completely but instead, will work best when freestanding or used near a garage wall that faces north or east.
Landscaping accent features can represent a sizeable investment, particularly such things as gazebos or porches, however they also will increase the value of your property and provide for your enjoyment for many years with proper care.
Arbors and Archways will begin at about 150 pounds and may go upward to nearly 500 pounds in cost.
Find the perfect landscaping feature for your garden or yard and watch the yard come alive with your addition.
