Creating a new stone patio

admin — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 01:55:36 +0000

Do you have an area that just begs for a new sitting area. Perhaps it is because you have a special view that you want to sit and enjoy. Or maybe just a spot that you want to sit in to just enjoy the surroundings. You also want to keep it fairly natural looking to blend in so you choose stone. Here are a few examples.

This is a natural area with a terrific beach view but no place to really sit and enjoy it. So we carved out a stone pathway down to a fairly level area and created a stone patio and sitting area. We then took a path further down the hill and built a second patio that was larger with a fire pit to create an enjoyable spot for evening relaxing.

Then we built a third gravel pathway with steps that went all the way down to the beach. However half way down we carved out a third stone sitting area to catch the view and perhaps to catch your breathe from the climb back up.

When you have a view that is this spectacular you want to take advantage of it anyway you can.

Complete change over of my backyard from old high maintenance pond to beautiful focal point.

Barclay was very easy to work with and delivered all I asked for and more. Bottom line….I’m very satisfied with the entire experience.

Barclay’s Gardens is very reasonable and quick to get things done. They did a complete redo of our back including rock work, pathways, fire pit and plantings. They were punctual and responsive. The back now looks great!!

Barclay and his crew did a total make over of my landscape including patios, walkways, lighting and new plants. I got more then my moneys worth! They even pitched in at the end and helped me put together a deck canopy I had purchased myself.

A great way to recycle broken up concrete is to make raised planter beds for a vegetable or flower garden. You can even incorporate a drip watering system (as shown in these pictures). The best thing about recycled concrete is that it won’t rot like wooden planters. So do it once and forget about it!

Check out these great new sprinkler nozzels that can help you cut back on water useage. If you don’t already have them, just call to see if we can retrofit your existing system with them.
