Specialized Stone Design for Your Haverhill Home or Business
Take a look around the homes in your neighborhood or the businesses in your part of town: Chances are that you’ll see the same, general elements. You’ll see the same kinds of siding, brickwork, and even landscaping elements. While some of these designs might seem nice on their own, they can start to blend in with all the rest, making them seem a bit generic.
To create a truly special look for your home or business, you should consider upgrading with a specialized stone design. You can apply such specialized stone to any area of your property, including the interior, the exterior, and the landscaping. The design specialists at Triad Associates can help you explore what’s possible for your property. We have designed numerous projects using specialized stone, and we can help you realize the full potential for your space, creating something gorgeous and unique. Here are just some of the ways we have incorporated specialized stone into our projects that you may also want to consider:
Stone Benches
An outdoor seating area provides a lovely space to sit with friends, to read, or just to enjoy some quiet time with nature. You can also provide an outdoor seating area at your business to provide a more welcoming entryway or to provide a nice break area for employees. While there are plenty of prefabricated benches available to buy, you can also design your own benches to get a unique look and the exact characteristics you want.
We can design stone benches with a variety of specialized stones, with the colors, textures, and overall look you want. We can design the bench with the surrounding location in mind, ensuring that it blends perfectly with the landscaping and complements your property’s exterior. We can design benches as standalone features, or we can combine them as part of a larger seating area, which could include a patio, columns, decorative walls, or canopies. Our design specialists will help you create the perfect space to achieve your goals.
Planter Boxes
Planter boxes can add green spaces all around your property. They can also create hospitable growing areas for plants that would otherwise not have a home, either because the soil is bad or because other plants are taking up the space.
We can design gorgeous planter boxes that can go anywhere on your property. We design large, freestanding boxes, as well as smaller boxes that sit on the top of retaining walls, along pool decks, and more. We perform an on-site analysis to determine the best placement for the boxes, and then we recommend stone options to get the look you want.
Natural Stairs
You have many options for managing uneven terrain on your property, including terracing or installing retaining walls. If you prefer a more natural approach, you might consider adding natural stairs to your landscape, using large stones for the steps instead of a manufactured staircase. The stairs can be used on their own, or they can provide a throughway for a retaining wall system.
You can also install stairs around your pool, either to access the pool from a higher entry point or to connect to other features, such as a grotto or waterfall. We design natural stairs using specialized stones to create a more interesting look that also blends in better with the surrounding landscaping. These stairs can tie in with other elements, such as large, decorative rocks, natural retaining walls, or planted areas. The final look is gorgeous and unique.
Pool Decks and Features
Your pool is a great place to show off your unique style and to do something really special with your design. You can go far beyond the typical concrete deck. You can use specialized stone to accent your pool deck (or even to create the entire deck), to create a built-in firepit, to add a small footbridge between pool elements, or even to create a stunning grotto. You can even add water features to your grotto for a luxurious design.
Your choice of stone for each of these features makes a big impact on the overall design. Our hardscaping specialists can help you explore the options to create a gorgeous pool area. We use design software, sketches, and stone samples to help you visualize what’s possible. We can help you create a resort-like atmosphere for your pool or something that looks like a hidden oasis.
Decorative Insets
You can make a big impact with specialized stones in small details and projects. Decorative insets are a great option. Pebbles, colored stones, and other materials can be used to create small designs within a larger stone creation. These decorative insets are especially popular around pool areas, such as within the decking material. You can have one or many of these insets. You can also include them in a stone patio, a driveway, or a wall.
Your options for decorative insets are pretty much unlimited. Talk to our design experts about how best to bring your vision to life.
Entryways
Similar to the decorative inset, you can create a beautiful entryway point, either in the leadup to your front door or just on the other side of it in the interior. Exterior entryway designs create a welcoming point and a nice first impression for visitors. Interior entryway designs set the tone as the person enters the space.
Just as with decorative insets, you have a lot of options for creating these entryway designs. They can be geometric or freeform. Talk to the design specialists at Triad Associates about the best options to complement your space.
Interior Floors
Specialized stone is a wonderful option for interior floors. You can elevate the space and give it a look unlike any that you’ll find in any other home or business. Textured stone is popular for creating a rustic or artisanal look in a space. However, smooth stone can create a sophisticated or contemporary look.
The type of stone you choose, where it is placed, and how it contrasts with other elements in the space will all impact the overall look. Our design specialists will walk you through each of the considerations to help you create a design that you will love.
Interior Walls
You already know how well stone can be used to upgrade a home’s exterior with beautiful results. But you may not realize that you can create similarly impressive results by adding stone to your interior walls. We’ve overseen some amazing transformations by adding rustic brick and cobblestone to rooms, making them look like designer wine cellars or posh eateries.
Remember that you have specialized stone options that look like wood, pebbles, and various other natural products. You can achieve amazing results with the right combination and placement of materials. Let our specialists help you make the right choices to transform your space.
Choosing the Right Specialized Stone for Your Project
Choosing the right specialized stone is about more than just finding something that looks good and getting a quote to see if it fits your budget. Our design specialists will help you consider all the elements that will contribute to your final project outcome, including:
Placement of the stone
Other materials, such as the type of wood or other stone that is already in the space
Additional design components in the space, such as railings, lighting fixtures, and so on
Potential exposure for the stone, such as to outdoor elements or to water and cleansers inside
All of these items will influence the type of stone you should choose, the color, the style, and so on. During your consultation with Triad Associates, our design experts will start by getting a better understanding of your overall style sense, as well as the goals you have for updating the space. They will then make tailored recommendations for stone options that will help you meet those goals.
