A Rustic Garden Blog

This customer installed A Rustic Garden’s wrought iron interlocking fence on their corner lot. The look is outstanding. This picture speaks a a thousand words. To think this rod iron fencing is made right here in Illinois. That is rare these days with most consumer products including metal fencing being imported from China.

Thank you for sending us this picture of your finished project. It is obvious that you have an talent for landscaping and have a lovely home.

With winter just a few months away, many homeowners are already thinking about alternative ways to heat their household. Gas and electrical heating are increasingly expensive, and they just don’t provide the same thrill and ambiance as a wood stove or a full-fledged fireplace. In fact, the fireplace is more than just a place for the family to gather round and huddle together for warmth.

It’s an inviting hub of activity in the evenings where each member of the family can recount details of the day. Just hanging around the fireplace and reading or sipping a glass of wine is much more rewarding than going into a vegetative state in front of the television. As such, it makes sense to invest in the aesthetic appearance of the hearth. Wrought iron fireplace screens act as a rudimentary safety barrier, but their primary effect is that of beautifying the space.
