Create Your Own Backyard Paradise
Outdoor patio landscaping can also be a part of garden design. Gardens are
frequently planned and planted around outdoor patios. Making the appropriate
material choice is important. Stone patios look more natural and lend themselves
well to an increasingly traditional, natural look.
Hardscape elements can also define the use of a space, such as with a driveway, or it can lead visitors through different zones of softscaping, as with a gravel path
that winds through a grassy area and into a secluded garden. There are so many ways to use hardscape elements to enhance your property:
-
Stone retaining walls create planting areas or convert a slope to flat yard space.
-
Flagstone patios are a low-cost option for natural stone outdoor flooring.
-
Stone walkways are ideal for garden paths.
-
Stone landscape steps have heavy stone slabs that make beautiful outdoor steps.
Concrete and aggregate designs are used to create contrasts or sharp points of
differentiation between natural features and outdoor structures that provide a
more functional purpose for outdoor living. It’s common for customers to ask us
to create an outdoor patio between a back garden area and an outdoor space of
some kind to provide transition from strictly decorative space to a functional
space.
