Garden design with natural stone slabs
Natural stone is a very individual material that has its own character both in its colouring and in its surface finish. This special character often only becomes apparent when large areas are laid. But even smaller elements made of natural stone, such as individual path or stone slabs in the garden, can develop their very own fascination. Whether as a decorative element by the pool or pond, as a practical path through the garden to protect the lawn, or as a visual break for larger garden areas - stone slabs made of natural stone offer a variety of design options for lawns, terraces and gardens.
Good planning from the start
Basically, all natural stones that can be used outdoors are suitable for designing your garden. However, we mainly use limestone, travertine or crystal marble, as these materials are extremely weather-resistant, robust and sure-footed. When choosing natural stone, what counts first and foremost is good planning. How do you want the garden and terrace to look as a whole? Should the stone slabs fulfil more of a decorative or a practical aspect? Once these basic questions have been answered, it is important to take stock of the natural stone materials and elements already in use. After all, the design of the garden with stone slabs should create a harmonious picture for the observer and be sensibly laid out.
Stone slabs made of travertine, limestone or crystal marble
As already mentioned, we use different natural stones for stone slabs. The Levante Crema sandblasted is a very light-coloured limestone that is reminiscent of white beaches. Due to its colouring, the natural stone hardly absorbs any heat from the sun. Even on hot and sunny days, Levante Crema remains pleasantly cool. The sandblasted surface of the natural stone provides sufficient slip resistance in the pool area as well as when wet and offers a wonderful feeling when walking barefoot.
The crystal marble also scores with its light and slightly rough surface, which is an optimal prerequisite for safe and pleasant barefoot walking. This natural stone has a rather restrained look and is therefore the perfect partner for the individual design of garden and terrace with stone slabs.
The Nocciole travertine, on the other hand, clearly has Mediterranean aspects. The slightly rough surface and the beige to dark brown shades of this natural stone create a rustic and very original flair. In combination with green lawn edges and also pool or pond, the unique character of the travertine is particularly eye-catching.
Those who like it extravagant, but also classic, are well advised to choose the limestone Anthracite Nuvolato. White veining gives this natural stone an additional charm. Although the dark grey limestone appears somewhat cool, it unfolds its magic even on smaller stone slabs. In combination with lawn or water, it creates a very individual but harmonious overall impression.
