3 Ideas for landscaping your garden and backyard with natural stone

Backyard and garden landscaping with natural stone is currently popular. Regardless of your home design, whether it is contemporary or traditional, natural stone conveys into your backyard and garden a timeless note and an organic connection with the Earth. The backyard and garden landscaping with natural stone elements are durable and beautiful. Here are a couple of ideas for adding a personal touch to your garden and backyard landscaping project.

1. Garden furniture promises outdoor relaxation

The garden and backyard are our intentional connections with nature and there is nothing like relaxing in the middle of nature. Apartment residents go to parks for peace and relaxation but you can find those much easier in your own garden. So, why not taking advantage of this, relaxing in this small universe, shaped the way you like it? Choose a safer spot and add furniture, in a combination of wood and natural stone, the key elements ensuring a connection with nature’s tranquility. A granite bench is in perfect harmony with the area for individual meditation surrounded by bushes of Tamaris and Jasmine. And if you feel the need for company, discover the benches from the soft marble Kavala or the durable Rock Star granite, where you can rest with your family or friends, in this garden area, away from modernity and daily rush.

2. A barbecue for gathering your friends during weekends

A garden barbecue installed in your backyard or garden satisfies your hunger and add you more friends. Considered a few years ago as a luxury of gardens in suburbs of residential districts, barbecue turns into a common element of a pragmatic area, landscaped in your backyard or garden. It's the area where you enjoy a pleasant dinner with your friends, where you celebrate and cheer, it is the area were you belong to the world. Apart from barbecue, such an area can also include a stone cladded worktop (perhaps with a sink) and an eating place with specific furniture.

3. Terrace – A necessary exit interface

The terrace extends your house into the garden, as a buffer between domestic and wild, a necessary oasis for something called the modern comfort. Uncovered exterior terraces are best cladded with slate or granite tiles, durable against freeeze-thaw cycles, UV radiation and acid rains. The use of polygonal stone creates a genuine traditional style, while the French pattern combines the sobriety of material with an unconventional layout of tiles. For covered terraces, marble and travertine claddings are recommended, for creating interiors with ancient, quiet and soft touches. These stone models are more sensitive and need treatment for protection against water, dust and stains. Terrazzo-cladded flooring is cheerful, transmitting optimism due to is vivid colors. Being handmade as terrazzo composite stone, these can be used both for interior and exterior, yet colors are best preserved indoor.
