When most people think about landscaping, they generally think about plants and flowers. While the flora and fauna is definitely an important part of a good design, it is stone landscaping in Alpharetta that can really make a difference in your yard. There are a number of ways to use these materials to help your yard have more beauty and more functionality. Some of these ideas are as follows. Retaining Walls If your property has any kind of slope to it, then stone landscaping in Alpharetta can help to make the slope look better and easier to traverse. The walls are placed into the slope to create steps or levels. Each leveled area can be used for steps, garden plots, or a clever combination of both. Accent Boulders In the midst of your trees and other plants, you can create a really lovely accent by simply placing a big boulder among the plants. This has a very natural feel and draws the eye to all the right places. Look for a really attractive stone to use as such an accent. Many landscape supply stores have a good supply to choose from, and they can deliver as well. Water Feature There is nothing more beautiful in nature than a waterfall. While you probably can't install a full waterfall on your property, you can definitely install a water feature reminiscent of the natural pieces. Stones are wonderful resources in building the right height and shape for such a feature. Paver Stone Paths Paver stones are wonderful to use for paths or for any flat surface in the yard. Creating a lovely passage from the door to the different areas of your yard can be done in a unique and classic way by using these stones rather than pouring cement. Built-In Seating When done right, your yard becomes a central meeting place where you gather with all of your favorite people. Once you have these people gathered, however, they need someplace to sit. Create some lovely built-in seating with paver stones or with sculpted boulders. These hardscaping elements add beauty when not in use and utility when needed. There are many other things that can be done with stone landscaping in Alpharetta, but this should give you a pretty good idea of where to start planning.
