Landscaping Ideas

Magnificent Addition

12' Treated Pine Octagon Gazebo w/ Double Roof & Cedar Stain/Sealer
Foreground: 14' Gardenview Plank Bridge

Your gazebo will add to the beauty of your home in countless ways – and for countless years – as long as you have properly prepared the site, as detailed in our Site Preparation section. Its contribution is twofold, as a magnificent addition to your existing landscaping, and as a separate structure that deserves some landscaping of its own.

In the latter case, there is no end to the number of ways in which you can embellish your gazebo. Some people create “living” gazebos, by planting ivies and vines nearby, and allowing them to climb the latticework. With periodic pruning, the structure becomes neatly – and completely – covered. Done correctly, this can be absolutely stunning.
 
Those who want plant life nearby, but not covering their gazebos, place arbors strategically to provide more shade, accent certain sections, add privacy, or just to have gorgeous climbing flowers to enjoy. Another great way to surround a gazebo with flowers is to put in some raised garden beds, decorative planters, or, if you want to add plants and seating at the same time, planter benches.

To build a truly breath-taking sanctuary, place benches, gliders, or lounge chairs around an ornamental fountain, a garden pond, or a lovely wishing well. Bird feeders and a couple of birdbaths also make attractive additions. To turn it into an exquisite entertaining area, install a fire pit or brick barbecue at the center, and encircle it with lamps or torches to provide a stunning effect at night.
