4 Ideas for Incorporating Natural Stone into your Landscaping

Natural stone and concrete pavers can significantly improve the aesthetic beauty and functionality of your property. Natural Stone has the ability to bring color, function, and texture to a landscape, and can help form the floor plan to your outdoor spaces.

At South Atlantic Masonry and Concrete Contractor located in Atlanta and Florida,  we give you four ideas for incorporating Natural Stone and Concrete Pavers into your landscape design and get the most of what they have to offer:

1. Flagstone Patio:

The advantage of a flagstone patio, whether you’re capping a concrete slab or setting the stone in sand or soil, it that they can be as formal or informal as one wishes. Flagstone is a great material due to its durability, character and the variety of colors and textures available.

2. Rock the Foundation:

Slate or flagstone is a versatile choice for patios and walkways, as these sleek stones look good paired with almost any home style (stucco, brick, wood) and outdoor decor. In addition, they never need to be refinished like decking. While some homeowners consider pavers a DIY project, installation can be tricky due to the stones varying widths and tendency to shear over the years if laid down incorrectly. 

3. Build a Stone Wall:

A stone retaining wall can be used to prevent soil erosion or the movement of other loose, organic materials. Despite its functional intent, this structure can still be as pleasing to the eye as it is effective. Stone walls can be mortared or dry laid, long or short, tall or low. Gravity and placement determine their overall structural integrity.

4. Stone Path and Steps:

Paths, like patios, can be as informal or informal as one desires. Paths can be made of flagstone pavers, larger flagstone slabs, or gravel. Most paths are edged with a material such as a flagstone strip stone to keep the material between the stones contained. Stone steps are always a nice feature in a garden.
