A log gazebo can pair perfectly with a log cabin or any other rustic-looking structure, but landscaping can be a bit tricky. You want to maintain that casual country look by choosing plants that make you feel transported to a quiet retreat every time you step out into your backyard. You also want to choose decor that offers the rustic chic look you’re going for! Here are a few tips to landscape around your log gazebo perfectly:

• Old is New Again: Embrace antiques by including reclaimed wood posts, slightly rusty metal gates, vintage wagons, wagon wheels, or even old farm equipment in your landscape.
• Planters with Flair: If you’re planting in pots or beds, think about adding a touch of country style by planting in galvanized pails or tubs instead of pots. You can also use palette or reclaimed timbers to build raised garden beds or planter boxes.
• Color with Wildflowers: Wildflowers add personality to the beds around your log gazebo. Sunflowers, zinnia, nasturtium, yarrow, and cornflowers are some of our favorites – plus they’re great for attracting bees, butterflies, and ladybugs!
• Add Structure with Shrubs: Anchor your landscape design around your log gazebo with rustic-looking shrubs like cedar, juniper, red twig dogwood, Ninebark, barberry, burning bush, or lilacs that can add seasonal pops of color while maintaining a beautiful structure all year round.
