Landscape structures (arbors, gazebos, pavilions, trellises, and cabanas that are not enclosed on all four sides) are to be located within the Improvement Envelope. In general, landscape structures are to be used to link building masses, create focal or special destination points in the landscape, and ameliorate the climate.
• Landscape structures are to be used to ameliorate the climate and create shade, shadow, and texture. Landscape structures are not to exceed 18 feet in height.
• Structures are to be designed with an integrated planting scheme of vines, shrubs, and understory trees that soften the structure and connect it to the landscape.
• e height, color, materials, and style used for outdoor structures should be the same as, similar to or compatible with the architectural style of the home.
• In general, the same guidelines that apply to architecture apply to the design of landscape structures.
