Material Information
Rocks & Boulder Characteristics:
Rocks and boulders are frequently used in garden landscaping to add a natural element and visual interest to outdoor spaces. They come in various sizes, colours, and textures, and can be used for different purposes, such as creating rockery gardens, enhancing water features, introducing to child friendly play schemes or serving as barriers to prevent parking along the grass verge.
One popular use for rocks and boulders is in the creation of rockeries, which are gardens featuring rocks and plants that mimic natural rock formations. Rockeries can be created in a variety of shapes and sizes, depending on the available space and the desired aesthetic. The rocks used in rockeries are typically large, irregularly shaped boulders that provide structure and interest to the garden.
In addition to rockeries, rocks and boulders can also be used in children's play areas, such as climbing structures or obstacle courses. Smooth, flat rocks can be used for hopscotch or other games that involve jumping or balancing.
Water features, such as fountains, ponds, or streams, can also be enhanced with the addition of rocks and boulders. Rocks can be used to create cascades or waterfalls, or to add texture and interest to the edges of a pond or stream.
Rocks and boulders can also be used to prevent parking along the fron grass verge of a property. Large boulders can be strategically placed to block access to certain areas, such as a private driveway, grass verge or a sensitive planting bed.
There are many different types of stones that can be used in garden landscaping, each with their own unique properties and geology. Some common types of stone used in gardens include:
Granite: This is a hard and durable rock that is often used in garden designs. Granite is formed from magma that has cooled slowly below the Earth's surface. It is available in a variety of colours and textures and types of stone. Granite is available as rockery stone and also large rounded boulders.
Sandstone: This rock is formed from sand grains that have been compacted and naturally bonded together. Sandstone is a popular choice for garden features because it comes in a range of colours and textures, and it's relatively easy to work with.
Limestone: This rock is composed mainly of calcium carbonate and is formed from the accumulation of shells and other marine debris. Limestone is commonly used in garden design, however limestone based rocks should be avoided in ponds with fish as the stone will affect the pH of the water.
Slate: This is a fine-grained rock that is formed from clay, quartz, and mica. It's often used in garden designs because of its dark, rich colour and its ability to split into thin sheets. It is also available as large feature stones such as monoliths.
Natural stone rockery and boulders come in a variety of natural shaps and sizes and may include markings and mineral deposits that can appear as veins or patches of different coloured sections. This is the way that nature has formed the stone and may be caused by minerals such as quartz and iron depending upon the mineral make up of the stone. Dimensions are an estimated size and may vary. Some stone may be scored or damaged as a result of the quarrying process, however this will weather down over time and become less noticeable.
