Outdoor Rooms and Accessories
March 24, 2013 | By webadmin
We enhance our landscapes with decor we find attractive and that makes our outdoor living space special to us. Our featured décor may brighten up a space, make our yard stand out or draw us out into a space. Landscape accessories such as birdbaths, bubblers or ponds, attract wildlife and provide space for us to enjoy the outdoors. These man-made items become immediate focal points in our landscapes because they stand out in texture and design from the plants, shrubs and trees. A few favorite garden accessories include garden benches, bird feeders, fountains, colorful planters and distinctive patio furniture. Here at Roundtree Landscaping, we can install a few favorite landscape accessories to bring your design to life.
Trellis
A distinctive trellis with a flowering vine or two installed to climb it makes a vertical statement in your yard design. A trellis can add height where needed and soften a fence or wall. Low maintenance vines like Antique roses or Cross Vine are perfect choices for planting on your trellis. A properly installed trellis will be securely anchored and the base to prevent against our occasional high winds. A wide array of materials can be used to build the perfect trellis for your landscape. Cedar is a popular choice, but metal can be used to create both traditional and modern styles.
Fire Pit
Fire pits are the perfect way to bring the family together outdoors when temperatures are cooler. The fire makes the sitting area cozy and comfy. The fire pit needs to be installed per regulations that govern distance from a covered area or porch and chairs need to be positioned a safe distance from sparks. While there are many free-standing fire pits available, RLI can build a custom fire pit, or gas fire pit, for you into your landscape or patio design. It’s important to have a professional install such a feature both for safety and proper use.
Fountains: Bubbling Rock Fountain
Everyone needs a little personal space they can call their own. We love the bubbling rock fountain because it turns a courtyard into a cozy, quieter escape. The bubbling rock fountain is beautiful, yet low maintenance water feature. It's a wonderful place to relax after a hectic day! If you want to create a stunning yet soothing water feature in your landscape, we can design any style of bubbler with the pottery or stonework of your choice.
