LANDSCAPE STONES
Landscaping your yard and outdoor spaces with rocks and stones can be an elaborate process. A detailed analysis also has potential to yield something beautiful, long-lasting and fruitful results. Whether you’re looking for flagstone patio design, stepping stones, rock walls, groundcover or natural stones, some planning and help must be consider.
The best place you can actually start your exploration of rock styles and types is by browsing through the web or in magazines. Get a feel for what you need and then you can decide how and where it fit into your landscape plan.
Natural stone, the most versatile elements for a landscape makeover, help to add texture and contrast, can also serve as a durable groundcover. The best advantage is that they require little or no landscape maintenance.
The rocks that you choose will help to set the tone for the rest of your garden. Tawny pebbles or river rocks can add warmth, while white marble chips will brighten up the shady areas. Flat terracotta stones complement a tropical landscape, but do seem out of place if being used in a more formal garden. For a minimalist modern landscape or Polynesian-themed garden, you are encouraged to try black lava rocks.
