Natural rock outcroppings can be the perfect finishing touches or show stopping centerpieces for almost any type of landscape. These large rocks are typically layered among gardens and other displays, arranged along ponds or pools, or used as stand-alone displays to keep the simple beauty of nature in your modern landscape. At Outdoor Craftsmen, we have over fifteen years of experience creating attractive landscapes that match our Boulder, Colorado clients' individual styles. We are able to:
Whether you're just starting to plan your landscape or are looking to add something new to your well-established outdoor living space, our experienced Boulder, Colorado team members are always available to help you select and install rock outcroppings that look natural within the context of the rest of your landscape.
Incorporating natural stone into your landscape can be a simple way to add a hint of color to an otherwise green yard. While stone planters, stepping stones, and other items are common ways to add stone that serves another function to your landscape, natural rock outcroppings focus on the aesthetic beauty of the rocks themselves. These large rocks or piles of rocks can be strategically placed against hills, next to ponds or pools, or in other areas of your landscape to create a design where elements of nature meet modern style. Rock outcroppings that are placed in landscapes mimic those that can be found in the wilderness near rivers, caves, cliffs, and other eroded parts of nature.
Natural rock outcroppings can add a rustic touch to any large or small landscape. By filling large open spaces with attractive rocks, clients can achieve the perfect balance between filled and open areas throughout their landscape to create a design that does not look too empty or too cluttered. Adding a few large rocks can also be the perfect finishing touch to gardens and other areas that are filled with smaller pebbles.
By incorporating natural rock outcroppings into any outdoor living space, clients can design landscapes that follow modern trends without sacrificing the simple beauty of nature.
Choosing rocks in colors and patterns that blend well with the rest of your landscape, particularly other rocks that are already present, is a crucial element of creating a uniform look. Because many of the rocks used for outcropping are quite large, using a style that does not match your current landscape can drastically and negatively affect your overall aesthetic. Rather than trying to create too much contrast, select rocks that complement the colors in other rocks, wood furniture, plants, and your building itself well.
Before choosing specific rocks, think about the size of the space where you would like to put them in order to determine the number and size of rocks that will look the most natural. In general, we recommend always using an odd number of rocks and using rocks that are not too similar in size and shape to create a display that looks natural.
Because stone is much heavier than many other landscaping materials, it can be quite expensive to ship long distances. For this reason, choosing a local landscaping company to install rocks that are already nearby can help to keep costs down. Colorado is filled with a wide variety of types of stones, which makes it easy for our customers to select rocks of various colors and patterns that do not need to be moved very far to reach your home in Boulder, Erie, Niwot, Lafayette, and other nearby towns.
The weight of large rocks can also make bringing them to your property and setting them up challenging and potentially dangerous for inexperienced clients. Rather than risking injury or damage to other elements to your landscape by trying to do it yourself, be sure to work with experienced professionals. At Outdoor Craftsmen, we have over fifteen years of experience and are fully licensed and insured so that our clients can have the peace of mind of knowing their new rock outcroppings are being handled by some of the most dependable landscapers in the Boulder, Colorado area.
