There are many romantic elements to an English garden and you can bet that if it is an English garden it will have a miniature lake or at least a pond. Most often a bridge or pier is also built over the pond. English gardens also often have a pavilion or arbor that is round or hexagonal. Sometimes they are even in the shape of a Roman temple. Faux ruins and even a grotto can be included in the garden landscape.
Other elements that can be included in the English garden also include concrete brick pavers and interlocking pavers. They just need to fit in with the environment too. Make sure the colors and style are appropriate with the other elements you have in your English garden. If you choose to include vinyl fencing, which is highly durable, you’ll also need to consider the style and color so it will work well with your landscape.
