Garden Arches

Just as a door or a window frames view, a garden arch creates a focal point, a frame, a passageway in your yard or garden. Called by many names, an arbor, trellis, pergola or arch adds instant interest and elegance to any outdoor setting.

Used throughout history and throughout the world, many cultures have sought to create order and harmony in their gardens with arbors. Imagine Monet’s garden. The great estate grounds of Victorian England. The quiet and contemplative Zen gardens of ancient Japan. All relied on the aesthetic beauty of arbors and pergolas to complete the illusion of harmony between man and nature.

Constructed from many different materials, there are arches of wood, metal, rustic branches and twigs, and modern, easy-care materials such as vinyl. Majestic and imposing or slender and unassuming, the garden arch can make any outdoor area complete.

The garden arch is often planted with flowing vines or climbing roses, clematis or wisteria for a beautiful, naturalized effect. Often the arch serves as a gateway to a different section of the garden, such as a private seating area where you can share secrets over a tall glass of iced tea, or a hidden, shady spot for reading on a lazy summer afternoon.

Even the smallest garden areas are enhanced and improved with a lovely trellis or arbor. And larger spaces are divided into more manageable and attractive areas with the use of arches.
