Many think of beautiful kitchen countertops when they hear natural stone, but granite, marble and quartz can look just as lovely in outdoor areas, specifically backyards. With 2020 quickly coming to a close, most are hopeful for a less stressful 2021.
We know time can go by fast, so Spring and warmer weather are right around the corner. Why not start planning some upgrades for your backyard, including adding some beautiful natural stone, so you and your loved ones can have a great space to make memories together?
Stepping stones and pavers are a great way to start adding natural stone in your backyard. (10 Landscaping Ideas For Using Stepping Stones In Your Garden (contemporist.com). You can go as big or small as you want. Whether you want pavers around the perimeter of your whole yard, or want just a few stepping stones leading from your door to the patio, natural stone can instantly add a unique touch to any backyard. Stones can be arranged in different shapes and patterns to offer a variety of looks and feels. And this idea isn’t just for flat backyards. If you have hills or steep areas, steeping stones and pavers can help add some traction to an area that can be difficult to walk through.
Landscaping with stone can turn any garden or backyard up a notch. Big or small, light or dark, there are many options that can add a unique touch to your greenery. Natural stone slabs can be used to help frame a certain area of a garden or yard. They can also be used simply for decoration. Some people like using one or a few large stone pieces. Others prefer using many smaller pieces. It’s your personal preference and what you’re trying to accomplish and Spectrum Stone Designs can help you with this process.
