We build amazing arches and passages on the garden plot
Content:
Arches, walkways and arcades give us the opportunity to look at the garden as if it were a well-framed picture. Install them and see how impressively they enhance the appearance of the area. It doesn't matter if the juice is flowing in their veins, or they are cold, like metal and stone.
Simple yet unmistakable garden elements are a great solution for places that need quick, relatively inexpensive, but lasting and impressive changes.
Arches in the garden as well as arcades enhance the sense of three-dimensional space. When we take care of how they look, then they not only serve as support for the site, but they themselves become an attractive garden accessory.
Walkways in a wall or hedge naturally destroy the monolithic nature. And although they reveal only part of the world around them, the garden makes them mysterious and awakens curiosity.
Gateway to another world
Garden and arcade arches highlight the changes and mark the boundaries between the terrace and the garden or lawn. They can also accentuate the transition from one decorative piece to another, which is especially attractive if they stand directly above the stairs that form a connection between different levels of the terrain.
The passage in the wall, in the opaque wood and ultimately in the hedge allows us to combine incompatible parts with different uses, such as relaxing in the pool and vegetable beds.
It is not always necessary to install a new element. If there is a barn on the site, it is enough to open the doors on both sides. The view through the building attracts the eye with magnetic force.
Universal use
Through vertical elements do not take up much space, they are structured and destroyed without sacrificing their airiness and lightness. They will find use in a garden of any style and size.
Even in a small area, their ability to visually enlarge the space is intriguing. You will not know everything at once about the garden you are looking at through the arch. It looks even more mesmerizing when various plants are tied to the arch from at least one side or hide under a thick cloak of climbing leaves.
Are you wondering where to place an arch in the garden? Try to present it as a powerful tool to help you catch the eye and guide your guests' steps where you want them to go. Playfully adds an eye-catching frame to the garden sculpture, accentuating the line of sight to the bench, while also bringing the garden gate to life. Such a walk along the path in the shade of a fragrant arcade brings pleasant sensations only when we imagine it.
Rustic or modern?
A traditional garden arch, woven from willow vines or broken from strong branches, naturally accentuates a rural front garden, a forest corner, an entrance to a meadow or vegetable gardens.
They cannot be compared to stone life. White lacquered and richly decorated metal blends with romantic ideas, and the living plant gate looks perfect everywhere. Even in the austere modern garden.
Magic with plants
A DIY living arch in the garden can be further cleaned by removing two to three plants and balancing the remaining branches for support. When we build an arch to support hornbeam, beech, or linden saplings, we get fifteen or even twenty years of meticulous pruning of a gem that everyone will envy.
If plants are to be tied to a structure, one must understand its sufficient width. Too narrow, large-leaved or thorny species such as wisteria, aristolochia and pyracantha are not suitable for narrower aisles. There is no need to give up roses, there are varieties without thorns.
