Unique Ways Of Rock Patio Landscaping Colorado

By Frances Schmidt


Anyone wishing to renovate the look of their backyards has a wide range of options to choose from. The ideas range from use of natural elements such as stones to integration with plant life to achieve a lively earthy feel. Discovering the right ideas and methods can transform an ordinary backyard space into a heavenly outdoor space. Rock patio landscaping Colorado professionals are readily available to help you transform and add value to your living area.

Patio designs come in a variety of styles. Such a popular style is a linear hardscape which encompasses rectangular cuts of stone that run across the ground and turn at a sharp right angle upward to form a retaining wall. Blocks cut into squares can also be used to form smaller sizes of the hardscape patios. These are then arranged into circles whose radii bring out the proportionate look of the blocks. In most homes, such circular patios are often built around contemporary fountains, whereby such fountains are the main attraction in the yard.

In contemporary patio design, the stones are layered geometrically to create a unique pattern. The sizes and shapes differ but there is a deliberate effort in the layering to form an interesting look. Even with different colors and sizes of stones, it is essential that the angles in quadrilateral forms and the sizes of these forms be identical and complimentary. If intending to achieve a more natural look, a more random and irregular placement of the rocks will do.

In the structure of rocks, the placement of flowers and shrubs will differ depending on the layout of the patio space. Designing a garden around the patio always accentuates the outdoor appearance and gives an opportunity for more creativity.

Smaller rocks and stones are often utilized to line the edge of a driveway, flowerbed or a pool. The much larger rocks are integrated into the garden area so as to enhance the innate appearance.

In some residences, there needs to be coordination between the patio walls and the yard. In order to balance and achieve the aesthetic intention of the whole design, it is very important to have a Colorado landscaping specialist design the whole structure and have it match the surroundings, including the buildings.

One advantage of using patio retaining wall in combination with a stoned landscape is that it prevents erosion of adjacent planting areas. The solidity of the stones makes the land more stable and resistant to dislocation by both wind and water. The better utilization and management of the yard contributes to the lush appearance of the adjacent landscape elements.

Investing time and resources into landscaping a yard often pays off with a fantastic and peaceful relaxing area. You simply need to keep things simple so that the space is not too catchy so as to maintain the natural lush look and feel.
