A green terrace: ideas for an elegant, sheltered space

The terrace is the natural extension of the house – the place where we relax, receive guests or enjoy quiet moments outdoors. A successful arrangement does not only mean beautiful furniture, but also the right plants, which provide privacy, structure and year-round aesthetic appeal.

At Iris Arhpeisaj, we recommend resistant plants with controlled growth, ideal for delimiting and decorating terraces. Among the most effective solutions are plants grown in block (hedge), such as Thuja Brabant, Cotoneaster and Cupressocyparis Leylandii. 

Why choose block plants for your patio?

Block plants are a practical and quick solution for terraces, courtyards or relaxation areas. They are already well developed and can be used immediately for:

• creating a natural privacy screen;
• protection against wind and dust;
• masking fences or less aesthetic areas;
• a green, tidy appearance without waiting for years of growth.
