SLDA Landscaping Associates - Planning Designing and Implementing

Stone Paths and Pathways

To achieve a rustic, cottage like appearance in your backyard landscaping, stone paths and pathways using flagstones and other stone products can be perfect. Certainly, all flower gardens must have pathways since you as the gardener and your admiring guests won't want to leap over plants and borders to see the flowers. Stone products come in all sorts of sizes, shapes, colors and textures giving you a lot of latitude in creative path design. You may want to have a landscape design professional plan your stone pathways at the same time as they're doing your overall landscape planning. This way, you're getting a consistent approach that will give your landscape a harmonic appearance.

We create unique custom landscapes with a three steppingstone process that streamlines the planning, design and implementing phases with conceptual plans, lifestyle hand colored renderings and master plans.

Path Stones

If you're creating stone garden paths on your own, be careful not to hurt your back. Bending over repeatedly with heavy stones is a sure way to result in physical injury that will last for a while. Landscape contractors have machinery, tools and techniques that allow them to lay stone paths without injury. That's just another reason to have professional Boston landscape companies plan your pathway design and find a Boston landscaper to do the job.

If you've dreamt of using fieldstone such as large riverbed rocks and pebbles for your garden paths, you may not prefer the final result when you walk on the pathway. For best results, it's best to use stone products at the local landscape supply company in your town. A landscaper will consider safety too in your stone path design. A twisted ankle is perhaps the first thing comes to mind when designing a pathway with fieldstone or rocks from a quarry. A path that is filled with prepared flat stone not only looks better, typically it keeps weeds and cracks between stones from becoming problems. A path laid with sporadic stone placement may seem natural at first, but with erosion from rain and weeds, it can actually require more maintenance.

Stone Materials

You might create your stone pathway from Granite, Flagstone, Quartzite, Onyx, Sandstone, Travertine, and pathway shoulders can use fieldstone and riverbed pebbles. Stone tiles and stone cobbles are also options for your backyard garden path.
