A Rustic Garden Blog

Whether to choose a small garden topiary or a large one. Experience tells me to have high expectations in the garden. Just a little bit of the right elements and your flowers and vines will flourish. Enriched soil, water, and fertilizer will do the trick.

Many times the larger size is just a few dollars more. Seeing the perfect wrought iron obelisk standing in your flower garden is a eye catcher during the summer or during the off season for interest when your plantings are dormant.

Our vintage style rod  iron fencing that has no finish on it so it will rust just like the historical fencing you might see around century old homes.  The bars are solid steel not hollow tubing so it would take more than a lifetime before you could ever see any noticeable weaknesses so your investment will last. 

We have garden fencing that has been in front of our business for about 15 years and it is a bit darker colored but basically is still as strong as it was when we installed it.  The wrought iron fencing that we would be shipping to our customers today is just a few months old so it is still a rusty orange color.  At this stage the rust does come off on your hand if you rubbed it.  After it is a few years old it will darken and look like an old iron fence, which is what most of our customers are looking for. 

If you would like to send us a diagram or drawing of your fence project we can figure a quote.  We are using a lot more of our steel posts these days which add more stability at the ends and around the gateways.  Feel free to email or call us toll free with any other questions or concerns.

We make the steel posts that coordinate with our wrought iron garden fencing. Yes they accent but structurely they add so much strength. Each post is made in our welding shop here in middle IL so we can make it any length. We use them to hang and latch our large wrought iron gates. The posts also easily interlock with our steel fencing sections.

Let us know your landscape design and we will can work out a plan to fill your space right down to the inch.

There are  many different types if garden stakes on the market today.  You can find wooden, wrought iron and even blown glass with styles from ornate to  rustic primitive.

A Rustic Garden carries a line of wrought iron stakes that have a cast iron finial. These handy stakes are called hose guards  and push into the ground around you flower beds to hold your garden hose back away from your flowers while watering.

You can decide whether your gardening stakes are functional to help support your flowers or vegetables  or  for  fun and decorative  uses.
