Does your yard lack purpose? Is it a bit flat and deficient in the excitement department? Perhaps it is missing that certain something that draws you out into the space. Consider the aesthetic and practical benefits of adding garden structures to your outdoor living areas. 

Structural elements can fit any size garden, adding dimension and interest to your design. They can define usable spaces, provide an entryway into your garden, and add vertical interest to an otherwise flat yard.

Arbors and trellises can create a vine covered entry to rival any cottage garden. Creating a clean and simple arbor design provides a modern look that serves the same purpose. Drape any style with flowering Wisteria or Clematis or leave them unplanted and use lighting to highlight their form, they provide a sense of mystery and invite exploration.

A pergola is an open room. The solid posts and open framed ceiling create a defined space for relaxation or dining. These structures can be built using wood, metal, or vinyl in many architectural styles. You can design it to match your home perfectly or create a destination with a completely different feeling out in the yard. Pergolas offer a level of shade Enjoy a meal al fresco or visit with friends and family surrounded by beautiful plantings.

If you are looking to bridge the gap between outside and inside, a pavilion is your answer. These structures provide the best of both worlds with a solid roof and open sides. The protection from the elements allows you to add fireplaces to extend your outdoor season, kitchens with seating to create a fantastic gathering space and outdoor televisions to create the perfect game day location.

So, as you look out into your yard, consider what the addition of a structure or two could add to your outdoor space. Meet with a designer today to start the exciting process of creating your dream yard, full of beauty and function, for your whole family.
