Serenity and Tranquility in a water garden pond is an escapism from the hustle and bustle of your daily life on many situations.

   

Indeed, you need a corner in your garden to rest. Some prefers open space, other prefer rooftop features. So comes to birth a few structures called Arbor, Pergola and Trellis with various form and shapes known as hardscape.

Pergola normally built as an aesthetic element and provides climbing space for climber plant, also used by some garden owner as a place to rest.

Arbor

For country garden, arbor not only provides an interesting panorama view but also provides shelter and rest area under the sun or rain while inhaling a fresh air and listening to the churning of water splashing down the rock. It's best to build the arbor from a long lasting wood to balance up with the climbing plants as well as to sooth the view.

Put in your mind, the purpose of building arbor. After knowing the purpose and the types of arbor you want to carry out there then you can start to determine the design and location of the arbor. Assume that the location don't restrict free movement in the garden and obstruct the view to your house or block the air flow and sunlight. Don't forget to lighten up the arbor area with lantern if you want to have some activities at night.

You need to be sensitive about where the sun rises in the morning or down in the evening because even though the arbor was built with rooftop, the long and short sun light at different times should be observed so that the arbor is always shady. Study the direction of wind as not to obstruct it from flowing freely to the arbor.

Decorate your arbor with outdoor decor so that any activity carried out in here can be more comfortable. Lastly don't forget to put potted flowers in container garden plant to soothe the environment.

Pergola and Trellis

Don't under estimate the small backyard in your home. The obscure position of your backyard makes it suitable to build a pergola. Some people might want to build it in front of the house. The presence of the pergola can dramatically change the outlook of your home.

Function only as an add-on decor that brings aesthetic value to the garden, some garden owner makes use of the space under the pergola to put outdoor furniture as a rest area. To prevent the outdoor furniture from rain you can put a transparent plastic roof on the pergola. Use long lasting wood material such as hard wood, cedar wood and decorate it with hanging plants or climbing plants. It would make it more interesting if the plants flourish.
