Garden arbors, entry arches and trellises that frame a path, support climbing plants and add structure and charm to a yard.
An arbor tells you where to walk and what to look at. Placed over a path, a gate or a garden entry, it frames the view and gives roses, wisteria, clematis or jasmine a place to climb. Trellises add privacy and height to a patio edge. Nashville gardeners use arbors and trellises to add structure and softness, and to make a yard feel like a place to explore.
Your designer helps you choose size, style and material, from cedar and treated lumber to steel and composite. The crew sets posts in concrete footings, builds the frame and attaches lattice or wire for plants. Gates, benches and lighting can be added. The scope notes plant spacing, expected growth and what to expect as vines mature, so the structure and the plants work together.
An arbor needs enough width and height for a person to pass comfortably and for mature plants to cover it, so we size it with growth in mind.
Posts set in concrete footings stay upright when heavy vines and wind pull on them, and we choose materials that resist rot.
Climbing plants vary in weight, sun needs and pruning. We share ideas and the structure to suit them.
Gates, benches, lights and planters can be built in to make the arbor a destination.

The site is cleaned up, the space is explained on a walk-through and care tips are shared.
Many are about eight feet or more, high enough for a person to walk through and for plants to grow on. We size yours to the space.
Roses, clematis, wisteria, honeysuckle and jasmine are common, and some need regular pruning. We share options for Tennessee.
Heavy vines add weight and moisture, so we choose strong, rot-resistant materials and share pruning tips.
