Outcropping is a landscaping design technique that involves placing large pieces of stone or rock formations in or on a landscape. They are placed in similar formations to how they would appear in their natural environment. This is used to add a natural or rustic look to your landscape design. The stones can be used as an accent, pathway or subtle design change. Want to include outcropping in your design but not sure where to start? Bare Roots Landscaping can create a design that will take your breath away.
Outcropping services typically include the selection of placement and integration of large stones, boulders or rocks into a landscape to enhance the aesthetic appeal and structural integrity. Outcropping can serve various purposes such as:
- Retaining walls: Retaining walls provide structural support to hold soil and keep water away. When installed correctly, they can blend seamlessly into their environment. They can also help create stability in sloped areas of landscape.
- Defining garden borders: Outcropping is also a great way to enhance garden beds and borders in your landscape. They can also add visually appealing depth to your landscape. Borders can also help keep garden maintenance low and create a boundary between the garden and lawn.
- Constructing steps, walkways or pathways: It is important to follow the natural contour of your landscape. Large, flat stones and rocks can be used to build steps, walkways and pathways from one place to another. They are highly durable and require minimal maintenance, not to mention they can withstand many different weather conditions for years to come.
- Add focal points to a garden design: Outcropping can be used to enhance visual interest in your landscape. The use of eye-catching stones and rock formations can draw attention to your garden or specific spots in the yard. They can also complement and enhance already-existing plants, lighting or water features. Outcropping is a fantastic addition to any yard.
