Decks not only provide a cozy spot to entertain family and friends or to simply relax, but also use their aesthetic and functional qualities to make the transition from your home to your landscape, while raising your property’s value.  Porticos can compliment or match the architecture of your home or other structure, and offer an elegant space for car or pedestrian arrival, parking, or entertaining.  Trellises can be used to screen unsightly areas or bring attention to a wall or face of a building.  They can facilitate the inclusion of large areas of plant material where horizontal space is at a minimum.  Arbors make unique gateways to gardens or lawns, and can be used in conjunction with patios, terraces and decks to offer filtered shade, and in some cases shelter from weather.  Combining climbing vines with any of these structures gracefully integrates the architecture of your property with its landscape.
