Halogen- High pressure incandescent lamp. Used for highlighting any object like tree in landscaping.

Neon- A low pressure gas contained within a glass tube ; the color emitted depends on the gas

Bollards in Landscaping

Bollards are clean and consistent outdoor decorations that help balance the character and theme of building exteriors with surrounding pathways and landscapes.

They are functional and decorative—providing clear barriers while enhancing outdoor visual quality.

Use bollards to complement artistic compositions in integrated urban and green spaces.

Sense of place: Bollards establish a meaningful sense of place along pathways and outdoor spaces around buildings, in parks and in other community spaces.

When used well, decorative site furnishings carry cultural building or landscape designs into surrounding areas, creating a greater presence and cohesion

Decorative bollards separate sidewalk gardens

Functional planningProper bollard installations contribute to safe, attractive and functional outdoor environments for the benefit of community residents and visitors..

Well-organized landscapes ensure minimal conflict among users and provide attractive designs to reinforce broader objectives for the surrounding neighborhood.

Gates In Landscaping

A gate or gateway is a point of entry to a space enclosed by walls, or a moderately sized opening in some sort of fence.

Gates may prevent or control the entry or exit of individuals, or they may be merely decorative

Side yard and front entry gates, sometimes referred to as pedestrian gates, allow people to access the backyard or entryway.

A pedestrian gate should be a minimum of 36 inches wide. Most pedestrian gates are single gates; however, if you prefer the look of a double gate this is also a possibility. A double pedestrian gate looks great for a front entry.

This type of gate should swing inwards and usher guests into your garden.

Wrought Iron Gates –Wrought iron is one of the most popular ornamental gate types. It provides a classic old-world feel that is unmatched.

Custom wrought-iron gates can be created with intricate designs and patterns.

Some gates are designed to look like trees, leaves or plants,

Wooden Gates –A wooden gate will provide a relaxed and welcoming entrance to any garden. Wooden gates can have a solid design if you are concerned with privacy, or an open, picket like style. The top of a wooden gate can be curved, scalloped or even lattice. A coat of paint or stain can transform a wooden gate into an artistic doorway into the landscape beyond.

Vinyl Gates –The best thing about a vinyl gate is that it requires very little maintenance. A vinyl gate will not rust or rot and will likely last much longer than wood or metal.

Vinyl gates typical come in light colors, white and beige being the most common.

With vinyl you'll be able to choose from a variety of styles such as a picket gate, a privacy gate or a lattice gate.

communicate a message to a specific group, usually for the purpose of marketing or a kind of advocacy.

RAILINGS

Probably one of the most useful elements in the landscape, railing or fences not only provides a visual demarcation of property ownership, but it also performs a necessary function of both protection and prevention often required by the law.

WOOD VERSES VINYL

•Vinyl is nearly five times as strong as wood and thus it takes much more to bring down a vinyl fence than a wooden one. •The flexibility of vinyl makes it a good choice in places that witness extreme weather conditions such as strong winds and rain. •Wood fences are more likely to break and collapse in such weather.
