There are lots of different materials that work well in a landscaping plan. While many homeowners are already familiar with things like gravel, brick pavers, and mulch, they may not be aware of how limestone in San Marcos, TX can be used to create a beautiful look in the backyard. With endless possibilities, consider these interesting ways to incorporate the material into an ideal landscape.
Raised Beds
In order to get the most out of the space, many landscapers create raised beds. This allows for plants to be elevated and ensures that they get attention. When making a raised bed, it is important to layout the design first. Then, after digging a trench for the border, fill it with things like pebbles or small gravel. Once that is done, the limestone can go along the top of the border, creating a clear separation and adding to the area’s appearance. Because it can be tough to get the perfect size and shape of raised beds, this is a great task to hand over to the professionals.
Pathways
It doesn’t matter whether a backyard is covered in lush grass or gravel, it’s nice to have a pathway to follow when walking around. There are two main ways to use limestone in a path. For a softer look and feel, crushed limestone can be laid out in a path, clearly marking where people should walk. This is ideal when looking to create a casual look and feel. On the other hand, for a completely different look, slabs of limestone can also be laid out in order to make a walkway. While both options use limestone in San Marcos TX, the look as well as the way it feels to walk on is completely different.
Accent Boulders
Who doesn’t love accent boulders? They are one of the most versatile items used in landscaping. They can be incorporated into a pool deck, located near a point of interest, or just placed casually within the landscaping plan. Either way, limestone is a great material to work with in this way. It can be laid on top of the ground or a portion of it can be buried to change up the appearance.
