Add a Versatile Trellis with Creeping Vines
A trellis can be a functional and aesthetic addition to your luxury landscape. Here’s how you can use it:
Create Defined Spaces: Use a trellis to frame garden entrances or sections of seating areas.
Grow Fall-Climbing Plants: Plant clematis or Virginia creeper, which change to gorgeous reds, oranges, and yellows in the fall.
Whimsical Arches: Place trellises over stone pathways to create an enchanting arch effect as the vines grow.
Expert Tip:
For an extra layer of luxury, choose materials like wrought iron or cedar for your trellis to blend seamlessly with your home’s architectural style.
Enhance the Ambiance with Warm Lighting—Or Spooky Touches
Lighting is key for setting the right mood in your outdoor space. Here are ways to brighten your yard while enhancing fall charm:
String Lights: Wrap string lights around trellises or trees to create a soft, cozy glow.
Pathway Lights: Line your walkways with lights for easy visibility at night and added ambiance.
Lanterns for Seating Areas: Use lanterns on tables or near seating areas to create pockets of warmth throughout your space.
Halloween-Themed Décor: If you’re a Halloween fan, switch to orange and purple string lights or add spooky touches like Jack-o’-lanterns and fake tombstones to celebrate the season.
Expert Tip:
Use lighting that complements the theme of your yard, from warm and cozy to spooky and festive. Ask G&G Landscape Solutions about the best lighting options to suit your space.
