What Service Do You Need?*
01

Create Vertical Interest

By adding height to your garden design, trellises draw the eye upward and break up the flatness of the landscape, making small gardens feel more expansive.

02

Support Climbing Plants

Trellis panels provide an ideal support structure for climbing plants, such as roses, clematis, and ivy, allowing them to grow upward and spread out.

03

Define Garden Spaces

Trellis panels can be used to create distinct zones within your garden — a secluded seating area, an enclosed vegetable garden, or a decorative entrance to a garden path.

04

Add Privacy and Shelter

By installing trellises strategically, you can block unsightly views, create private spaces for relaxation, or shield certain areas from wind and sun.

05

Enhance Garden Aesthetics

Trellis panels come in a variety of designs, materials, and finishes — from classic wooden trellises to modern metal or plastic designs.

06

Choose the Right Material

Wood is a traditional choice that blends well with natural surroundings. Metal trellises offer durability and a contemporary appearance. Plastic or vinyl is low-maintenance and weather-resistant.

07

Incorporate Trellis Panels into Your Garden Design

Place them where they will have the most impact, such as near focal points, entrances, or areas where climbing plants will thrive.

08

Regular Maintenance

For wooden trellises, periodic checks for rot or damage are important. Metal and plastic trellises typically require less maintenance, but occasional cleaning keeps them looking their best.
