3 Types Of Stone Best Suited For Outdoor Designs

Have you been considering having your outdoor patio or living space updated? One of the best ways to do this is by adding decorative stonework. Below we are letting you in on some of the best ways to add curb appeal to your property with stone.

Decorative Flagstone

 

A popular choice for homes and businesses alike is flagstone. This particular stone comes in a variety of shapes and sizes. It would be a nice option due to the fact that it is not slippery when it gets wet.

 

This means it would be a great choice to add near your pool or outdoor dining area. A few of the types of flagstone would include, limestone, sandstone, and quartzite. If you have decided to have flagstone added to your property, it is best to consult with a professional for your install.

Spruce Up Your Space With Cut Stone

 

A cut stone is simply one that comes in tiles. Like flagstone, there are multiple varieties that you can choose from depending on your specific design tastes. These look great because they will flow smoothly along your outdoor entertainment space. Some of these would include marble, travertine, limestone, and even granite. 

Mix Up Stone With Other Materials

 

Another awesome way to showcase your property is to mix multiple types of materials. For example, you could mix brick, gravel, and a wooden walkway. By doing this you can add texture to your overall design.
