Stone Garden Bridge Design

Long lasting cedar and redwood bridges are already very popular kinds of outdoor pond and / or garden décor. Whether you have a garden pond, waterfall, cascading fountain, or simply flowers, a garden
bridge can add a wonderful touch to the overall look of your overall landscaping design. Especially as décor for Japanese gardens with pebbles or rock beds, these have been popular outdoor
accessories. Rock beds are very interesting. These kinds of styles of gardens and their very traditional, antiquated looks have been the inspiration for even more modern and sometimes extremely
abstract new flavors of gardening.

As with all garden accessories, equipment, and landscaping designs, as well as indoor décor - design has and always will be dictated and carried by a matter of personal taste. This article will
focus on bridges in more modern and / or abstract garden designs - comparing them to traditional (and often natural rock or pebble) gardens of a Japanese nature. Some of the most interesting abstract
"art gardens" I have ever seen have used flat stones that vary in size and are uniquely shaped in circular or oval patterns. These rocks are placed in a shallow, creek or pond-like ditch. They are
slightly blue, but translucent and catch the sunlight as still waters would, smaller glass pebbles have even proven to have a more cascading allure, depending on the general landscape design. Across
some of these outdoor eye-catchers (which some people would consider more appropriate for a sculpture park than for a home garden) are elegant and add a distinctive ambiance to your home
outdoors.

You can get as creative as you like with an outdoor garden, and everything from wooden bridges, to reinforced or decorative bamboo bridges, to metal bridges can be an excellent outdoor accessory
to add to your personal, home garden. There are many old bridges, either antiques or an amazing mockery of design in appearance, that are extremely pleasing to the eye when combined with the rest of
your outdoor décor. Archway bridges for home design are virtually always four to six-post bridges in design. The medium and the design will depend on many factors such as how steep you want your arch
to be, how deep your posts must go to reach the ground, and how wide a space across which you want the bridge to reach.

Many people create colorful walkways of tiles or cobblestones at the ends of each side of his or her garden bridge. These individuals will often combine the medium of their walkways with the
bridges they install as part of their garden décor. Using wood or metal as a base, I have even seen bridges that incorporate the same kinds of tiles and the same kinds of colors that will blur the
boundary between the place where the bridge ends and walkway begins. Or, some crafty people will simply paint their bridges to better accentuate their colorful garden motif.

Try putting a garden bridge as part of your landscape and you may love what it does to your outdoor ambiance. Then there even are gardens with bridges custom designed: unique. You can create a
walkway across your artsy garden design like no bridge you\'ve ever seen. Some people even have a garden bed boundary that is designed in the shape of a lake or river bed. It is an amazing sight to
see.

Garden bridges add a bit of cottage charm to any garden, outdoor play area, or private observation area. Installing a pond or waterway on your property, however, can become an expensive project.
But you can use garden bridges as accents without installing any water at all. In your mind, perhaps you can only picture a bridge spanning a pond, river, or creek. But the possibilities are much
wider.

Use a bridge to connect two flower beds. Of course, the flower beds would not be strips right next to your house. Install two round or oblong flower beds in your back yard. Cut up the soil in the
area you\'ve marked.
