Natural stone can add a touch of elegance to your hardscaping efforts that isn’t often seen.
Now that the weather is beginning to get a tad colder, it’s time to think about what you can still do outdoors. Landscaping can become difficult in the fall, but hardscaping, defined by using hard surfaces to create interesting outdoor designs, is still do-able. One way to enhance your hardscaping efforts is to incorporate natural stone, which can add a level of elegance to your yard that isn’t commonly seen—and we’ve got four ideas for doing so.
1. Fire Elements
Installing a fire pit or outdoor fireplace can help you get more use out of your outdoor spaces throughout the entire year. Imagine comfortably sitting by the fire, even on otherwise windy and cold autumn nights, enjoying all of the hard work and resources you’ve put into your yard. Natural stone can make for an outdoor fire element that will stand the test of time while also creating a traditional, elegant aesthetic.
2. Stone Walls
Looking for a way to accent a garden, pond, or make the transition between elevated areas look more natural? Stone walls can do all that and more, including preventing soil erosion or flooding if those are concerns on your land. They can also be used to create distinctions between what areas are and aren’t accessible; a huge benefit if you have a garden that you don’t want anyone accidentally trouncing on.
3. Creating Pathways
While gravel is a common option for driveways or pathways, stone is seen as a classier, more durable option with plenty of staying power. Natural stone is also easier on your feet and even your vehicle. Compared to gravel, you’re going to worry less about slipping and stumbling, too. If you want idyllic, charming walkways around your home, consider using natural stone to achieve that aesthetic.
4. Stunning Patios
If you’re looking for a space to entertain, enjoy a book, or just lounge about, a natural stone patio may be right for you. It adds usable outdoor space for everyone to enjoy and, paired with the right outdoor furniture, offers new possibilities for entertaining guests. Using stone also makes for a durable patio, meaning you won’t have to worry about any party fouls.
