You already have a beautiful patio for your pool. You have lovely natural stone, stamped concrete, or a nice, wooden deck. But what does the rest of your landscape look like? Do you have hill areas in your yard that are nothing but grass and bare patches of eroding soil? Or do you have dirt pathways that are beating through your flowers and grass that just aren’t blending with the aesthetic?
Adding walkways and stairs to your landscape can elevate your home’s exterior, increasing its curb appeal while also offering practical benefits. Triad Associates can help you design beautiful walkways and stairs that complement your existing hardscape elements and bring out the best in your property. Here are a few reasons you should consider adding walkways and stairs to your landscape:
Improve Safety
Hardscaping can tame some of the more wild elements in your landscape. Paved pathways can even out the areas where you and your guests are most likely to walk, removing bumps or roots that can cause you to trip and fall. Natural stairs can make it easier to navigate the steeper inclines in your yard, reducing the risk of slipping. Making your landscape safer protects your family, friends, and visitors, ensuring they have a safe way to access the grounds and home.
Protect Functionality
Erosion can undermine the structural integrity of your landscape – not to mention bringing down the style of your exterior. Installing a natural stairway, in particular, can help you protect against erosion. The stones or concrete slabs can hold back the dirt on the hill, ensuring that soil does not just wash away. The stones also provide an easy pathway for walking through the yard.
A stone staircase protects the natural topography of your yard, not only protecting the health of the soil but also maintaining the beautiful profile that’s there.
Enhance Beauty
Look out at where you have just patchy grass or bare soil around your yard. Now imagine what those areas will look like dissected with natural stone pathways and stairways. You can instantly elevate the look of your exterior, which will improve your home’s curb appeal.
You have many options for the types of materials you can use for your walkways and stairs. Flagstone makes an excellent choice for walkways. Slabs of limestone or granite can make for a beautiful stairway. You can also do wonderful things with concrete.
Triad Associates can help you find the perfect materials and design for your hardscaping in order to bring out the natural beauty of your landscape, as well as to complement the pool deck, patio, or other exterior elements you already have in place. If you are installing a new pool or refreshing your current pool decking, we can work on these other elements at the same time, giving your landscape a more dramatic makeover and minimizing the work time on your property.
