Travertine
This is a very popular stone and is increasingly being used in many landscaping projects; and there is a distinct reason for this. Travertine is ideal for use in various settings such as flooring, wall cladding, poolscapes, driveways, pathways, walkways, entranceways etc. This is a highly porous material, available in honed and tumbled textures and you can choose from colors such as gold, ivory and walnut. This means you can get a stunning and unique outdoor space, using a material that’s extremely resilient and durable.Tile
Regardless of how many different materials enter the market, many people still prefer traditional tiling options for various outdoor spaces on their property. While the concept of tiling is centuries old, the use of the latest technology has ensured that there is a vast variety of tiles in different finishes and colors. This gives landscapers the design flexibility to provide clients with unique-looking outdoor spaces. Tiles could be used on flooring, for outdoor kitchens, as well as for cladding retaining walls.Stone Veneer
Many people really like the appearance of natural stone, but it might not always be possible to build stone features in different areas of the garden. Not only are natural stone blocks quite expensive, but the installation is very labor intensive. This adds to the overall cost of the installation.However, if you like the look of various natural stones, you don’t have to compromise and settle for just a concrete finish. You can opt for stone veneers of different kinds. These are essentially thin natural stone tiles that can be affixed to concrete surfaces to give them the appearance of stone; they are very cost-effective compared to stone blocks.
Flagstone
This is another popular material that is widely used in many landscaping projects. It’s a beautiful stone that looks amazing in any outdoor setting, and is available in a variety of colors. It has a very distinctive natural variation, is a low maintenance material and is extremely durable too. It can be affixed with masonry or even dry installed on a permeable surface too. It can be used as cladding for external walls or for flooring in outdoor settings.Having a well-balanced and resilient landscape is a lot about ensuring that you hire skilled and experienced landscape professionals for the job.
