A garden covered walkway is a versatile addition that elevates the aesthetic of your outdoor space. These structures offer protection from the elements and are used in many different settings such as business, schools and even your own backyards to name a few.
Incorporating Slopes
Walkways on slopes provide opportunities to capitalize upon visual resources and establish routes not only to walk on, but for people’s eyes to follow as they gaze uphill. Wind paths between trees, hide and reveal turns in the path with planting, or link focal moments with the defined line of the path – all to create a more fluid sense of movement through the landscape.
Green Infrastructure
The integration of green infrastructure in covered walkways is a growing trend. This can include things like living walls and vertical gardens to improve air quality, reduce the urban heat island effect, and promote a healthier built environment.
Architectural Expression
Covered walkways can serve as platforms for architectural expression and become iconic landmarks within cities. They can also be used as opportunities to celebrate cultural identity and contribute to the broader social fabric of urban environments.
A well-designed walkway is the foundation of your entire garden and can serve as a central design element that brings together all of the other features.
