stonework-project-dallas-9There are many areas around your home where custom stonework can be utilized to beautify your outdoor living spaces as well as increase your property value. Below we offer what we feel are five advantages of integrating stone work into your landscape, pool area garden or outdoor living area.

Custom Stonework has many uses around your home including retaining walls, patios, benches, columns, waterfalls or flower bed boarders. Each of these improve the esthetic of your home, while providing efficient and useful additions to your special outdoor living space.

Retaining walls are a good defense against erosion. These walls help any yard that varies in elevation and can help you create a personal shape or style of your front or backyard. Retaining walls can also be used in a terrace effect when the elevation of your property is drastic. These new terraces can be used as flower beds or patio areas which can also direct water runoff.

Patios and benches are wonderful additions to your yard. These add useable space to your home and improve the appearance. Benches can add extra seating to a patio or deck and are very functional outdoor entertaining or family outings.

Stone columns add a beautiful and rustic look to existing or new pergolas and patio covers. Stone will withstand the elements better than wooden supports and are very low maintenance. Stone columns are stronger than traditional wooden posts and can withstand more weight when adding a new cover to your outdoor patio.

Creative boundaries takes great pride in custom stonework design for your home. We use the best quality materials, and larger stone:  the use of this larger stone helps reduce the risk of the patio cracking or stone loss. These larger stones also provide a more appealing look. Each patio is designed to accommodate your back yard needs.
