Artistic Landscaping Stones
If you want to create a long lasting artistic statement, and can't carve statues, landscaping stones can be a great way to make your statement.
They come in all manners of shapes, sizes, colours and patterns.
Their only limit is what you envision to do with them, and how effectively you execute your plan.
From boulders, to armour stone, to patio stones, and down to pea gravel and stones, you can make art with rocks.
Armour stones are the biggest and boldest of statements you can make on your lawn.
These stones were originally used as barriers against the ravages water takes on the coasts and shores of the sea and rivers.
They literally have acted as armour for the shore against the constant wearing effect of water on the shore, as surge protectors against stormy weather, and as insurance against the rise and fall of the tides.
Now you can use them to shore up an artistic statement that will last for decades.
You can buy these one to fifteen ton stones in all manner of colours, with unique elements of gradation and layering in each one.
Large boulders can also be used to create patterns and interesting entrances.
Having one on either side of your driveway can be a fun way to greet your guests with old world charm that will last.
You can hang gates from them, attach a sign to their surface, hollow out a space for your mailbox, or just leave them alone and imposing on your soft green lawn.
I think it always looks great to arrange a little pea gravel around their base in either complimentary or contrasting colour to set off the whole look.
A flagstone patio is a way that you can create an artistic piece of work that is also function.
You can have years of fun out on your patio with friends who can look down to their feet and see the great piece of work you have created.
This is one instance where your friends can walk all over something you're proud of, and be okay with it.
Flagstone is generally one to two inches thick.
They come in irregularly shaped pieces that are natural and meant to be set in sand, and square cut pieces that are meant to be set in mortar.
Either option will last you decades, and either one will also give you many options to create whatever it is you wish.
If you're building your home yourself and love the look of stone, why not look into having a facing done in stone? This classic look goes back to the beginning of humans building homes.
Over the years we've come up with many different styles.
You can choose from square cut, basalt sawn, basalt split, brohm, granite, river rock, thin stone, ledge stone, and any mixture of all these to create a unique home that only you have.
When done in the same style as your landscaping stones you can have an elegant home that will last for years, and be the talk of the neighbourhood.
