Never underestimate the importance of a well-planned driveway. Done right, it should be wide enough to navigate, strong enough to withstand occasional delivery trucks and graded so water slides off like rain from a roof. A good driveway also complements the house and is a pleasure to traverse. Start by planning the route from the road to the garage thoughtfully. A curve or two takes up more land but lends grace. Drives should be at least 10 to 12 feet wide at straight runs and 14 feet wide at curves, says the landscape architect Tom Wirth. If the drive is long, provide a 12-by-18-foot (or larger) space at the top for turning around; this can double as guest parking. To make sure there's enough room, do what Tom does: Make a scale model of the cars and driveway first. "We slide the models around on the drive and make sure the turning radii are generous. "Prevent  puddling  by angling the paved surface slightly downhill. Or create a crown: The center of the drive is built up so water flows down the sides into the soil or drainage channels.

 

A drive that's too steep is slippery and dangerous. Never exceed a rise of 15 feet per 100 feet of distance (a slope of 15 percent). If the driveway must wind up a steep area, add curves to lessen the slope, or cut into the hillside. The surface material should fit the character of the house and the landscape. Depending upon where you live, it should also stand up to snowplows, road salt and fluids, such as oil and antifreeze, which leak from cars.

When it comes to the placement of garden fountain the old mantra of location, location, and location holds true. The calming sounds and beautiful sights of a well-placed fountain can transform a landscape. The number one thing to remember is that a fountain should be placed in a spot that readily allows people to enjoy it. A fountain should never be hidden in a part of your yard that rarely gets visited, this defeats its purpose.Well, it's best to select a location for your fountain before selecting the fountain itself. This way you know how much space is available and what type and style of fountain will best suit your needs. Picking a fountain with a particular area of your garden in mind will result in a cohesive and natural feeling, as if the fountain belongs there. If done the other way around, you may end up with a fountain that sticks out like a sore thumb.

 

If your garden has a formal design, a fountain should be placed in a central location where it can serve as a focal point. In this case, fountains are often placed at the intersection of two paths. If your garden has an informal design a fountain should be tucked into a corner, or placed along a garden path. The goal of a fountain in an informal setting is to serve as an accent rather than a focal point.

Stone Strip is a long narrow piece of stone , usually of uniform width. These strips are fabricate out of blocks and are most commonly used in the construction industry. The strips are made by cutting stones into pieces of varying length and widths as per the requirements.

 

Stone strips are used for making different designs on the walls and to create varied patterns. They just make the home look more decorative and graceful. They are available in a rainbow of colors and different dimensions for varied applications.

 

Types of Stones Used as Strips

1.    Sandstone Strips: Sandstone strips are used because of its resistance power and the variety of colors such as red, pink, white, yellow, brown and green. These strips are usually used fors and commercial buildings. They are also used for cladding and ornamentation of entrance.

Sandstone paver is a sedimentary rock, which is composed mainly of calcium carbonate, quartz, and iron oxide. Sandstone Pavers (being made of sedimentary rock) are formed over hundreds and thousands of years at the bottom of our ocean, beaches and lying throughout our rivers beds.

Sandstone Pavers come in a variety of warm and natural colors. They can also be cut to any size paver you may desire. Several patterns are also available.Sandstone Paver colors are very rich in texture. Being a natural product , Pavers are a blend of several colors and will never be matched by any man made colored pavers. Sandstone pavers also come in a wide variety of colors. One of the most popular colors still used today is the traditional sandy color. Other common colors include yellow, gold, cream beige, tan, brown, blue, green, and reds. Sometimes these paver colors can also include pastel blues, pinks and lime green. This is due to iron deposits forming fossil like images. 


Brownstone and Bluestone are also Sandstone; they are just called different names because they are different in a color. Mint Sandstone, Black Sandstone, Gold Sandstone and Grey Sandstone are also sandstone colors.All Sandstone Pavers have many different streaks and splashes of color 

throughout them. This makes Sandstone quite unique in color.

 

Apart from the river rock, there are other two important decorative rocks, one is the Volcanic or Lava rock, another one is the crushed rock. If you are planning to apply them at your garden, you could take the following information into account.
For volcanic rock, it is rock that has been formed after lava from a volcano or other eruption has occurred. Lava rock is typically either red or black, and can be used to offset shrubbery or other yard fixtures and provides dramatic contrast to the objects around it. It is typically fairly sharp, and uncomfortable to walk on barefoot, so it is not recommended for pathways or around pools. Lava rock tends to be more expensive than other types of rock, and so should likely be considered as a contrasting or enhancing material as opposed to the staple.
While for the crushed rock, it comes in a variety of sizes and colors, similar to river rock, but instead of tumbled to make it smooth, it is crushed which creates jagged, asymmetrical edges to the rock. It generally doesn't settle to a flat surface, but creates a surface that is irregular and complex. From a design standpoint, it is best used in small doses, and it too is uncomfortable to walk on barefoot. Crushed rock is commonly used for gravel or rock driveways. The smallest size, which ranges from dust particles to less than half and inch creates fill for larger rocks. The effect of covering larger rocks with the smaller type creates a surface that is almost completely level and even.

Stone and wood have been the basic building blocks of home construction for generations. Genuine stone and siding are both used extensively in sidings, but artificial wood and are also being used. Combining wood and siding is a common design approach. The two textures provide visual elements that complement each other well.

Country and New England style houses are often sided primarily with clapboard, with a low stone accent wall along the bottom of the house. Other accents may include rings of stone around doors, windows and other openings and stone columns at the corners of the house. The stones can be either flat for a more traditional look, or edge stacked for an up-to-date feel. The color of the siding should correlate with the tones of the stone, either matching the stone, or with a complementary but contrasting color. Since siding is above, short houses typically look best with lighter siding and darker stone, whereas taller houses work well either way.
Meanwhile, stone with sided trim is also quite popular. Most homes that are primarily stone have some sided trim and accents. Since areas such as eaves are difficult to cover with stone, so the traditional soffit and fascia are normally used. Other areas that may be sided on primarily stone homes are the trim around doors and windows. Most stone veneers that run the full height of the wall are flat mounted with grout, rather than edge stacked, which tends to look busy in that large an installation. Vinyl clapboard, again, is the easiest and least expensive choice for trimming a primarily stone house.

Sculpture is almost as old as and humanity itself. Human become an important symbol of the higher animals is to create tools, but more important is to create the image. The world famous stone statue of Venus "David", which are the classic works of memorable people. Now, whether it is in people's lives, or in a public building, the marble statue give indoor or outdoor space to add classical elements.

The marble statue of a small gap or dent is difficult to avoid. How to fix it?

Add some marble powder that matches the color of the statue. Buy a keg for decoration wall plastering. Prepare a certain amount of material, so that it is fully dried. Compare the color of the finished color and marble statues. Plastic shovel to fill the missing parts of the statue finishing with a soft cloth to wipe off any excess part. The marble statue of the area needs to be filled with a high sand sandpaper gently scrubs. With a clean cloth to remove dust particles.

The wide prevalence of bluestone patios underlines the preference for bluestone for outdoor household surfaces. Bluestone is also used for preparing walkways and some indoor surfaces such ass. Of course, its maintenance is also quite important. Thus, today, we will mainly talking about how to seal the bluestone patio surfaces.

Sealing of bluestone surfaces is done as a part of the installation. However, older patio surfaces often lose this protective coating due to sustained exposure to the outdoors. A good sealer elongates the overall lifespan of bluestone surfaces and help to maintain its immunity to water/chemical agents. You should proceed with sealing bluestone after having thoroughly cleaned it, using a combination of the above-listed tips. Bluestone sealants are easily available at hardware stores. Apply the bluestone sealant after the cleaned surface is completely dry. This is best done with a paintbrush. Usually, two coats of sealant are sufficient. You can choose across a wide variety of sealers, including:
1.    High-gloss sealers
2.    No-gloss sealers
3.    Color-enhancement sealers¡ªthose that darken the shade of bluestone
4.    Single-application sealers

For hundreds of years, slates have been used for roofing. Slate possesses all the natural qualities necessary for roofs not least because it is easily split into tiles of regular thickness. These tiles are thin enough to create a light roofing material and have the added advantage of being almost completely impermeable to rain and with a high resistance to frost. provides a long lasting roof covering, able to stand up to the effects of atmospheric agents.

Furthermore, it should not be underestimated today that slate, contrary to asbestos-cement tiles which are sometimes erroneously mistaken for slate and which modern regulations state must be removed, is a material which can be considered ecologically perfect. The tiles which were traditionally used by local countrymen in Cogorno and the Val fontanabuona, were not particularly well finished, but the result was roofs of such rustic charm, their beauty is still very much appreciated today. On the contrary, it was a different matter for the slate which was imported to the nearby cities, particularly Genoa. Still today, the rooftops of the historic centre in Genoa are made of traditional rectangular or square slates, while many of the church domes and bell towers have characteristic scaled roofs.
