Arches, Columns & Balustrades
Arches, columns, and balustrades are timeless architectural elements that transform both large and small gardens into elegant, visually captivating spaces. These features add structural beauty and provide practical benefits, enhancing the overall aesthetic and functionality of outdoor areas.
Arches serve as charming gateways or focal points in gardens, creating a sense of grand arrival. Furthermore, they guide the eye through the landscape. Adorned with climbing plants like roses or ivy, they add a classic, romantic touch. Columns, whether supporting structures or standing alone as decorative elements, bring a sense of grandeur and classical beauty. They can define spaces, support pergolas, or simply stand as striking garden ornaments.
Balustrades are ideal for creating stylish boundaries around terraces, balconies, or stairways, offering safety without sacrificing elegance. They can outline garden paths or enclose seating areas, providing a sense of enclosure and intimacy.
When selecting materials for arches, columns and balustrades, different stone offers distinct aesthetics and durability. Yorkstone is renowned for its warm, earthy tones and excellent weather resistance, making it perfect for creating rustic yet refined features. Gritstone is similarly robust and provides a textured, rugged appearance, ideal for more naturalistic garden designs. Granite, with its hard-wearing and polished finish, suits contemporary settings, offering sleek and modern lines. Limestone provides a versatile option with its range of colours and smoother texture, fitting well in both classic and modern designs.
In modern gardens, arches, columns and balustrades fit seamlessly and creatively. Arches frame views and create transitions between different garden zones. Columns, integrated with water features, add a tranquil element. Balustrades serve as stylish dividers between outdoor dining areas and the rest of the garden, ensuring both safety and style.
Incorporating arches, columns, and balustrades using quality stone materials elevates garden design, blending functionality with timeless elegance.
