No. 2 Stones Are Naturally Unique Material for
All Landscape Related Needs
  • Rocks are forming with several prolonged natural
    processes such as metamorphism and sedimentation,
    as well as igneous rocks from various earth
    building processes, including volcanic
    activities. Tons of pressures, various degrees of
    temperatures, and plenty of biochemical and
    chemical processes are resulting in the unique
    and never repeating designs in the rocks.

No. 3 Stones Are Naturally Beautiful Material
for Your Landscape Design
  • We have seen grains are forming due to
    crystallization and different metamorphic
    processes at a chemical level. Fossil depositions
    add more complexities and beauty in the many
    sedimentary rocks mainly found in the sea bed.
  • Veins are forming with various natural processes
    and create distinct patterns in rocks. Minerals
    and other debris create various colors and hues
    due to oxidation, crystallization, and other
    chemical processes with the mass of rocks.

No. 4 Stones Are Aesthetically Pleasant
Material in Landscape Design
  • Colors, grains, veins, and textures of stones are
    not fading easily. 
  • With different finishes, you can bring awesome
    textures and patterns in your landscape designs.
    Dazzling shining is possible with polishing stone
    surfaces that glares and reflects natural lights.
    Tumbling, bush hammering, brushing and flaming
    like finishing treatments on the stone surfaces
    augment natural textures hidden within the stone
    mass beautifully.

No. 5 Stones Offer Immense Freedom in Your
Landscape Designs
  • Stones are available in regular and irregular
    shapes and sizes. You can found square,
    rectangular, and rounded, and oval shaped stones.
    Thickness variation is possible in stones. Thus,
    you can create a variety of design layouts for
    outdoor paving, wall cladding, and other needs.
  • Different types of stones have different natural
    colors and hues that give you enough freedom to
    bring color variations in your landscape designs.
    You can create matching or contrasting themes
    with stones and rocks.

No. 6 Natural Stones Create Non-slip Surfaces
in Your Landscape Designs
  • It saves users of your landscape components like
    floors on patios, porches, and decks from
    slipping accidents during wet days and humid
    conditions in outdoor spaces. Swimming pools and
    surrounding areas have higher chances of slipping
    due to water splashes. Thus, hones and tumbles
    stone finishes can help your landscape architects
    to give you non-slip surfaces.

No. 7  Natural Stones Withstand Climatic
Adversities in Your Landscape Designs
  • Natural stones are porous and containing various
    chemicals/minerals, which are giving them a
    capacity to withstand hot and cold climates
    easily. Stones are not getting heat easily during
    hot days. It lets you walk barefoot even under
    the mid-day Sun in summer. Quartzite and marbles
    have such properties and ideal for desert
    landscaping.
  • Slate, granite, and sandstones are ideal stone
    materials for cold climates because such stones
    hardly break or crack in frost or heavy snowfall
    conditions. For rainy days, stones enable us to
    walk easily and dry up quickly by never retaining
    dampness on the surfaces.

No. 8  Natural Stones Are Durable, Sturdy, and
Easy to Maintain Material
  • We know about hardness, water absorption, and
    other physical properties of natural stones.
    Stones hardly break or crack with normal pressure
    and standard hits. So, it is safe and strong
    material with natural beauty and aesthetics.
  • Wears tears often augment the appearance of
    stones instead of fading in color and textures.
    Classic look increases the charms of stone
    surfaces and increases the overall property value
    when used in the landscape as well as in interior
    designs.

Conclusion
  • If your landscape architect prefers natural
    stones in your landscape design, accept it
    immediately and try to allocate a somewhat higher
    budget for it. You will gain immense benefits in
    the long run and a good return in reselling
    value. For high-quality stones for your exterior
    applications, World of Stone USA is an ideal
