Arbors

Landscaping is a lot about using various elements and features in the right balance to create a unique and attractive look for your property. In this respect, homeowners add decks, patios, poolscapes, pergolas and arbors to the landscaping. The latter are increasingly being used to cover entranceways, pathways and walkways as well as various seating areas in the garden or yard.

What is an Arbor?

An arbor is a free-standing structure with supports on every side and on the top (lattices). This structure should not be confused with a pergola which generally has a fully-covered roof that is supported by posts. An arbor offers a bit of shade but is largely open to the air. Once it has vines and creepers growing on it, the area under it becomes very cool and shaded but does not offer protection from the elements.

This structure can be built over an entranceway to a garden and can also be built above a deck or patio for a very unique look. Aquastone Landscaping can help with design and installation of all types of outdoor features including arbors. Customers in and around Olympia, come to us with their landscaping requirements as they know we will provide them with high grade products, installed to perfection.
