Garden Gates: Entryways to Your Landscape
Just as a well-chosen front door delivers a message about the homeowner, garden gates convey a lot of information as well. With garden gates, you have the opportunity to make a statement. For instance, a bright eye-catching color demands attention. Garden gates made of pickets or wrought iron reflect a certain openness and willingness to share, say, giving passersby a peek at an outdoor water fountain just on the other side. Solid garden gates, conversely, indicate a desire for privacy and security. 
The pitch-perfect garden entryway can enliven the overall landscape design, especially when it complements the style of your home. Focal Points
Garden gates can be used as focal points, which are visual tools that bring the landscape design into focus and gives it definition. This technique is often referred to as directing the eye or giving the eye a place to rest. An ornamental garden gate can be used to break up an over-sized yard by placing it in the near distance. Or a garden gate on the back fence can make use of your neighbor’s landscape.
