In many yards, stone or paved areas are an important part of the design. If Landscaping Stone Work in Madison CT is needed, a landscaping service can figure out how to make it best fit the yard and get it installed right. Here are some of the options to choose from.
Walkways
A paved path or stone walkway in the yard has many benefits. The path can lead from the front door to the mailbox, from the back door to a swimming pool, from a side door to a koi-filled pond, or anywhere else that a homeowner desires. Firm walkways keep shoes away from the wet ground whenever it rains or when there’s early morning dew, making sure that shoes stay clean. Paved paths are also easier to walk on since they are consistent and flat. Another important feature is that they allow those who have limited mobility to still enjoy their yard.
Walls and Steps
A wall can be installed for practical purposes or because it enhances the look of the yard. Many walls do both. Retaining walls help prevent erosion on a hill, but they can also use materials that fit well with other parts of the landscaping. Walls can be constructed to partially enclose a specific part of the yard, such as a patio, separating it from the rest of the yard. Well-designed steps make climbing a hill easier, and they can be built into a retaining wall or stand alone. Often a wall that runs alongside the steps is an attractive feature.
Patios
For those who like to sit outdoors, a patio is ideal, whether paved or made of stone or brick. Like a paved path, it provides a clean area in the yard where there’s no wet grass or damp soil to stick to shoes. With the addition of a comfortable place to sit down, a patio is a good place to read a book, talk on the phone while breathing in the fresh outdoor air, or look at the beautiful nearby scenery. Putting in a table and chairs allow for eating dinner outside, perhaps with birds chirping in the trees and the sun setting in the distance.
