A little guide to help you determine if a garden bridge is right for your landscape or yard.

1. Garden Bridges to Beautify Your Landscape
Adding a bridge is one of the best landscaping ideas around. You don’t have to have a large
garden in order to have a garden bridge. Even small yard can benefit from a bridge. Garden
bridges can be the difference maker in transforming your plain boring landscape into something
really appealing.
Garden bridges offer many benefits that can be obtained through other means, especially in the
way of design and flow. It is easy to locate garden bridges of the proper size for your garden.
I’ve seen landscape bridges in local nurseries, garden centers and the big box DIY stores like
Lowes and Home Depot. I’ve even seen them at feed stores and for sale by side of the road
vendors. The internet is also a good place to look when shopping for a bridge. Many web pages
sell bridges or offer advice and plans on how to build one yourself. They are even available at
Amazon in a variety of styles and price ranges.
The carpenters and handymen(and handywomen)among us may be able to construct their own
garden bridge. Blueprints and design plans can be found on many web sites by dong a google
search. I’ve even seen plans at some of the DIY and hardware stores. Many web pages will have
pictures of the bridges they are selling the plans for.
The best addition you ever make to your landscape or garden may be a bridge. Just a little bridge
can improve an area in ways that no other hardscape possibly could. It will transform your
garden into a landscape that is the envy of your peers.
Picking the proper bridge for your landscape requires some thinking ahead. You shouldn’t jump
at the first bridge you think is cute. Picking the right sized bridge is vital. It must be sized
appropriately for the space it will fit into, otherwise it may dominate the entire garden. Think
about where the best spot is to place it, and picture how it will look in a few years when some of
the plants have matured.
A garden bridge in a well thought out spot in your landscape may be the difference maker you
are looking for. They have transformed many plain spaces into extraordinary spaces time and
time again.
