Homes with stone accents on the exterior are gorgeous, don’t you agree? Luxury Landscape Supply has building stone of different types and colors to give any home’s exterior a gorgeous aesthetic. Naturally, if you upgrade your home’s exterior with stone accents, you will increase the value you hold in your property. This works well even if you don’t plan on selling your home. The more value your property holds the greater your investment portfolio. Let’s talk about what you can do with the stone below.
Columns
One thing that is making a comeback is stone columns. These sturdy columns can work well to secure fencing around your property and a gate across your driveway. You can build stone columns on either side of the gate.
Many people also like to have stone columns on their front porch. The columns will give your home a rustic look that is elegant and beautiful. Another way you can use stone to accent your home is to build stone façades.
Driveways
Let’s face it, cement driveways are boring and they crack. Stone pavers can be used to build a beautiful driveway that reminds you of the cobblestone streets in European cities. Stone driveways are sturdy and durable, and when installed properly, the flat stone will not damage your tires. Think how beautiful a stone driveway would be.
Patios
Another excellent use for stone pavers is to replace your front and back patios with stone instead of cement. You can choose stone with colors that accent your home’s exterior paint. These patios are durable, beautiful, unique, and add a touch of sophistication to your home’s outdoor space. Use different sizes for an original look.
Walkways
Match your home’s walkways to the patios by using the same stone pavers. If you’ve ever seen an exterior space with a stone patio and walkways, you know how beautiful this is. Again, when laid correctly, the flat stone will not pose a tripping hazard. Make sure to take your time laying down the stone walkways so they are safe.
Retaining Walls
Finally, if you have a problem with soil erosion in your yard, or if you are looking to create a tiered space with different planting options, use stone pavers to build gorgeous retaining walls. These walls are sturdy and look much nicer than cement or brick walls. The stone pavers will accent your stone patios and walkways nicely.
