Greely Sand & Gravel Inc. is proud to offer three different colours of Canyon Stone new in 2011, blue, brown and granite. With rougher natural edges, visible striations and incredible texture, these stones are a different breed from our large landscape stones. Stunning and always unique, these canyon stones can transform a garden into a masterpiece, providing a focal point for your landscape design.
There are hundreds of ways to achieve landscaping with rocks. When many people think about landscaping they focus only on flowers, ground covers, shrubs and trees. The elements missing in this type of landscape design are stones and rocks, which provide varying heights and contours that keep the landscape interesting and unique. Successfully integrating rocks into your landscape turns them into a focal point with each rock being placed to create a specific look and feel.
Accent boulders help you build levels into your landscape without bringing in extra soil. They also give the whole landscape design a unique character that impacts the view with a little drama and interesting angles. One of the keys to using accent boulders effectively is making them appear as if they literally grew out of that spot. Putting the bottom of the stone down about 4"-6" achieves that effect, particularly in combination with decorative grasses nearby.
Whether you want a splash of texture and natural colors for ground covering or a full-out rock garden, landscaping with rocks is a great choice. Rocks endure the elements and truly offer one-of-a-kind uniqueness in sizes and shapes, some of which are sure to fit your plans.
