5. Garden Trellises – Vertical structures that support vines and add decorative appeal.
6. Raised Garden Beds & Planters – Defined spaces for controlled planting and improved soil drainage.
7. Seating Walls & Benches – Functional seating integrated into the outdoor environment.

Landscape structures are made from wood, stone, metal, brick, or composite materials, designed to withstand outdoor conditions. They blend aesthetics with practicality, creating a cohesive, well-balanced outdoor space while enhancing usability and visual appeal.
