It is so much fun to talk to people about their yards and what they like, what they do not like and how they view the overall landscaping scheme. No one has ever said that they are perfectly satisfied with their yard and do not want to another a thing. There is always something they would like to change, add to or eliminate.
Some people would love to tear up the entire yard and start over! However, for most of us, that is way more difficult and expensive than we can afford. So what can the average homeowner do to help your yard along without a great deal of expense? One of my favorite things to use in a yard and garden are trellises.
What I like about trellises is how different they are as well as the fact that many come in different sizes. This allows you to use the same shape of a garden trellis but in different sizes around the yard. Let us explore these two approaches a little more in-depth.
Some people have a themed yard while others have what I call, niche yards; yards that have several specific areas for different functions. Most themed yards are symmetrical in design and thought. With this type of yard it makes since to choose a style or type of trellis that comes in several different sizes and use this size difference to set off your flowerbeds or gardens.
You can also choose several types that go together, yet are not the same, to use in tandem. Most of these trellises are easily moved around so you can place them where you think they look the best and then plant your vines and blooms around their positions. If you do not like where they are move them before you plant. A lot of the time you can tell when people put up trellises to appease a plant by looking at where the trellis has been placed.
It just does not look good.
For those yards that have small niche areas, you have the advantage of using a plethora of trellises in many different ways throughout each space. Most people think of trellises being large but they come in so many sizes and shapes you can place them in flowerpots and planters to covering entire walls! If you want to use a trellis somewhere, you can.
A trellis can be freestanding, wall mounted, spiraled, large, small, made of vinyl, cedar, wrought iron or aluminum. They can have hooks for hanging baskets, bird feeders or birdhouses and come in simple crisscross designs to fancy curves, hearts and leaves. You can get a trellis in black, white, green or natural and can use them on a patio, in a garden, flowerpot or planter. Trellises can also be used in greenhouses for vegetables or growing vines of all kinds, large and small.
There is also trellis and lattice fences that love to host the many climbing vines you will find in a yard. This is a good way to make use of a fence that surrounds a garden. A good garden trellis will run you from .00 to .00 each for the smaller ones and go up to around 0.00 each for the larger decorative choices. Not much to pay at all to change the way your yard looks.
