Your backyard can be just as enticing a destination as a white sand beach or a cabin in the mountains. One way to achieve this is with a welcoming entryway that encourages curiosity and urges exploration. After all when you walk into a resort you remember the first things you see and they leave an impression. So why not try an arbor and trellis for the garden to lead guests into your backyard retreat.
A charming arbor and trellis crawling with vines and cascading blooms offers a glimpse of your patio paradise and says, "Come in, and stay a while!" It draws you in to solve the mystery of what lies beyond this entry point. It is a friendly invitation to your escape, your place to relax, your outdoor space. And since you've indulged in lovely teak furniture you want to encourage guests to come in and use it to relax in style.
Made from wood like western red cedar they are almost maintenance free. Simply use a stain every season to maintain the natural coloring which can range from amber to cinnamon and sienna brown or let it weather to a silver gray. An arbor and trellis provides an interesting contrast with the plants in your garden or yard and the lattice offers vines a place to grow. You can also use an arbor and trellis as a focal point within your garden. When covered with vines they can buffer the wind and offer a shady retreat perfect for placing a bench in.
So try placing one in your yard or garden and letting Clematis or Wisteria creep up this piece of classic garden dcor to create a gorgeous entrance or centerpiece. Not sure where to begin looking for one? You can easily compare prices and style by shopping online. Get a traditional archway or add some straight lines with a pergola on top. Choose one with extra lattice to provide more space for your favorite flowering vines. You'll enjoy it season after season no matter what size or style you choose.
Ranging from around seven to around eight feet tall arbors with trellis will add a high point to your yard, an eye catching entry or focal point and a place to literally stop and smell the flowers. Along with planter boxes and containers you can bring the garden in to decorate your patio with punches of color and natural interest. Put one in your favorite destination. It's right outside your door. Use an arbor as a gateway from your patio to the rest of your yard, leading you and your guests to explore the comfort and luxury of your welcoming escape. Create a sense of romance by placing an elegant bistro table set underneath one for some cool intimacy out of the sun. Add intrigue to your yard and garden by placing one at the entrance to your lush backyard haven to beckon to visitors and inform them that they have indeed found paradise and it is in your very own backyard.
