where can I find pictures of all natural backyard arbors, canopies and deck covers built of limbs with vines?
I am looking for ideas for my backyard. I am thinkingtree limbs cemented into the ground with branches for cross members and bamboo or palm fronds for the top. Then add climbing plants to overgrow the structure. Also plan to add a misting system and outdoor speakers.
Do an online search for bentwood trellises and arbors. There's some pretty awesome stuff they do with all those limbs I've been burning!

KUB tree trimming: Policy presents simple questions with difficult answers
Recent media and community attention has focused on the Knoxville Utilities Board's tree-trimming practices. In taking a look at the issue, there are basically two fundamental questions: Should KUB trim trees away from electric lines? If so, how?
Should KUB trim trees away from electric lines?
Yes, absolutely so. Tree trimming is necessary because of the simple fact that trees conduct electricity.
We all know it's dangerous to take chances with electricity - no one would think of touching a live electric wire. What you may not realize is that a tree that contacts an electric line can be nearly as dangerous as the line itself.
The risk is very real. It would be irresponsible for KUB to ignore this risk, and that is the primary reason that we spend $6 million every year to keep trees a safe distance away from the lines.
In addition to safety, tree trimming is necessary to provide reliable electric service. Even the smallest branch can cause an outage, often affecting residences nowhere near the initial event. Reliable service is a benchmark recognized in the industry; more than that, it's what our customers expect and deserve, and KUB takes that responsibility very seriously.
