Add an Entryway Arbor

A grand way to welcome your guests this season is with an entryway arbor! A custom arbor can be added to most pathways, door ways and other areas that lead guests right into your home.

  • Arbors can easily be decorated with greenery, roses and even mistletoe to create a true holiday spirit.
  • For a really charming arbor entry, a gate or fence may be added as well.
  • A nicely decorate arbor is a unique way to decorate outdoor for neighbors to see.

Here are some examples of beautiful entryway arbors from Better Homes & Gardens :

Although arbors are available in boxed kits, it’s definitely worth it to invest in a custom built arbor just for your home. Call Outdoor Environments at 913-897-2706 to discuss the possibilities of building an entryway arbor for your home today!

 

Get a Shade Arbor This Fall

You might already have a deck or patio attached to your home. If you need a new addition to your home’s exterior, a shade arbor might be the perfect choice for you.

Unlike most decks and patios, shade arbors are covered and cozy spaces that are perfect for the fall season.

What can you use a shade arbor for?

  • Simple fall outdoor dining
  • Adding a touch of privacy from neighbors
  • Add as an extra feature to your current deck or patio
  • Use it as a display area for greenery, flowers and flower pots
  • Create a comfy sitting or reading area with a bench or cushioned seating
  • Makes a great nook to sit and relax while children and pets play in the yard

Pictured below are examples of our shade arbors:

There are so many ways to add personality to your outdoor space this fall. Outdoor Environments would love to start planning a shade arbor addition for your home. Visit our Facebook photo gallery to see more photos of shade arbors we have built.

Gazebos, Pergolas and Shade Arbors… Oh My!

Some people just don’t realize the endless possibilities that are likely when you think outside the box. Adding a structure with plenty of visual interest is not only something that your guests can enjoy, but it’s also an investment that you can be proud of. Whether you choose a gazebo, pergola or shade arbor, there are many benefits to adding one of these to your outdoor space:

  • We all know that first impressions mean everything. And what do guests see before they even set foot inside your front door? They see whatever is (or isn’t) outside. Your garden, landscape and outdoor structures are your home’s front line. A magnificent structure will wow guests as soon as they arrive!
  • While going to a beautiful local park to relax, unwind and take in nature’s beauty is a great idea, you won’t have to go far if you have an outdoor structure in your own backyard. They provide a sense of calm and peace to the exterior of your home. All you have to do is step out of your back door!
  • If you have a house full of kids, pets and/or visitors, it can be difficult to find a quiet place to talk or even a spot to have a moment for yourself. An outdoor structure is a fine solution to both of these problems.
  • Are you planning on hosting any barbecues or outdoor entertaining this spring and summer? If so, an outdoor structure is the perfect outdoor accessory for guests to enjoy on the perfect sunny day. With ample seating and some pretty decorations, gazebos, pergolas and shade arbors can provide enough shade for hot summer days to still be enjoyable.

Don’t forget that we’re offering a great deal from now until April 29th. Take advantage and call Outdoor Environments at 913-897-2706.
