Garden Bridges: An Easy Addition to Landscape Design
Garden bridges can be used throughout your yard for other purposes besides crossing small streams or ponds.
Many may
consider a garden bridge as a means to traverse
a pond or other body of water. However,
innovative garden landscaping can allow a small
bridge to be used in unique ways such as an
alternative for a step into a tiered garden.
Several manufacturers provide pre-built garden
bridges in a variety of widths and lengths and
some of these bridge structures can be obtained
for less than $100.
Choices include Teak, Bamboo, Cedar, and Redwood
to name but a few. The construction of a stone
bridge can add an old world charm to a garden,
but typically is not a time friendly option due
to the need for onsite construction.
Time is such a harsh taskmaster which is why the
purchase of a pre-manufactured garden bridge if
often the best choice for conscious consumers.
Your landscape might be more traditional, or it
might be a Japanese style garden. Some will
develop a landscape design centered around a
customized pond. In all cases there are bridge
structures that can be drop shipped directly to
your location fully assembled and ready for
placement.
Traditional style bridges are designed with and
without handrails based entirely on the custom
of the bridge design. For example, a traditional
Japanese garden bridge most likely would be
devoid of hand rails while European influenced
garden bridge designs would contain intricate
handrail designs.
The cost of these structures varies widely and
it is not out of the realm of possibility that
you might pay as much as $2,000 or more based on
the size requirements you are after. You might
also look for outlets that provide free shipping
due to the significant weight of the wooden
structure. You most likely will find that the
price will be a bit higher for those items with
free shipping, but it may be a good idea to
compare the overall price in either scenario.
Whether you are looking for a small bridge as an
accent or a larger bridge to allow comfortable
access to portions of your landscape, a fully
assembled bridge may be the easy alternative
that allows you to take your landscaping dreams
to the next level.
