If you’ve ever researched natural stone, then you know that it has many fantastic qualities. When you add natural elements to your property, it results in a tranquil and transformative environment. There are many ways that you can use natural stone to enhance your backyard, and today we’re going to talk about them.
Boulders
The size of the boulders you choose can underwhelm or overwhelm an environment. When incorporating stone into your property this way, strategic placement is necessary as well. These are concepts that a landscape architect knows like the back of their hands. A landscape architect plans and designs landscape harmoniously and cohesively. There is a science and art form behind it. Therefore, landscape design is not a DIY project.
Water Features
Water features are an outstanding hardscape feature if you enjoy the calming noise of running water. Water features create a calming atmosphere. If you want your water feature to blend in, it’s all about layering natural stone in various sizes to replicate nature. The point is that it should look as if your water feature has always been there.
Retaining Walls
Retaining walls have very functional purposes, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be beautiful as well. Natural stone is flexible in design, meaning that homeowners have many options. Our professionals can cut natural stone in a way that meets any homeowner’s aesthetic needs.
Natural Stone is Perfect for Patios and Walkways
Let’s discuss natural stone’s durability. There is a reason you see this material as a prime material in various ancient buildings and artifacts. It stands the test of time, and inclement weather isn’t any match for it. Stone can come in many beautiful colors, meaning that no patio or walkway has to look the same, especially with so many potential cuts and shapes. Patios, walkways, and hardscape features, in general, add so much depth to a property.
The Beauty of Natural Stone, in a Nutshell
- Aesthetically Stunning
- Durable
- Low-Maintenance
