Unless you have specialized training, you probably don’t know all the natural stone options available to homeowners. There is much more than the typical gray gravel that’s popular in driveways. Now you can choose from stones of various shapes and sizes in nearly every color of the rainbow.
For the right type of stone for your designer landscape, Columbia, MO will have its own particular considerations. First, you need to choose how you want to use the rock. Are you looking to add pathways or add some color in between plants, outdoor ceramic tiles, or flagstone pavers? Or perhaps, do you want to create attractive borders?
If you want smaller landscape rocks, you’ll be able to select from pea gravel, river rock, lava rock, and chipped stone. Those looking to add a pop of color should choose either pea gravel or river rock. Lava rock is red, and it looks great against desert fauna. Chipped stone is stark white, making it ideal around flowerbeds or in modern landscapes.
Bigger stones, such as boulders, flagstone, or ledge stone are lovely statement pieces. You can place larger stones around your yard to create walls or line walkways. Some large rocks can even offer beautiful outdoor seating!
