First impressions

Gates come in all shapes and sizes and like any addition to a landscape must suit their surroundings. They give security and suggest what is to come. They come in all shapes and sizes.  From the very traditional to the contemporary.  All saying a statement about the person behind them.

Gates, piers and walls can all be joined together for a more secure perimeter or just to look great. In some homes security is not an insue and  imposing piers define the entrance to a substantial home and give a hint of what lies beyond. Gates can invite you to enter and  to explore more of the garden. These internal gates may serve no security purpose but are a feature in themselves and divide two parts of a defined garden.

  

An ornate rail can be a  safety barrier which is both practical and stunning. The significance of its safety is lost in its beauty. It gives detail to a plain uninteresting area and draws you to or any from the view beyond. 

In this home security is an issue. Contemporary gates look very impressive.  They provide security and make a dramatic statement about the home and personality behind them.
