While a bridge provides a practical way of crossing a stream or pond, in a garden setting it creates a strong focal point. And as you see from the photo above you do not need to have water in order to install a bridge. A dry creek or gravel bed provides an adequate excuse. Some of the examples shown below are more suited to a public park, but the different designs should give you plenty of ideas of what would suit your garden. I came across this gallery of garden bridges on the Top Dreamer website.
Garden bridges can be found in versatile styles and sizes, so there is definitely a design that can fit into your lovely backyard. Even if your backyard is not that big, you can still add some tiny bridge that can become an instant focal point. You may choose to add some wooden bridge, a Japanese style bridge with an arched design, a traditional English bridge made of stones etc. Also, you may choose?to throw in some color into the landscape by choosing some colored bridge. Red is a common color for Japanese style gardens, green or blue can blend in with the natural backdrop, while white is the best choice for landscapes with farmhouse. Scroll down now to see the versatile garden bridge ideas that we have chosen for you toady and get inspired to beautify your backyard or garden with some bridge. Enjoy!
