Let’s Take This Party Outdoors
When most people think about incorporating the sophistication and appeal of granite fixtures to their home, often that discussion starts and ends with the kitchen and bathroom. However, in Alberta one thing we know is that as soon as the warmer temperatures hit, after spending the winter cooped up inside, we are ready to get outdoors at every opportunity.
Creating an outdoor space for hosting has led to many re-imagining the look and function of their backyard deck. We’re evolving from just a barbecue as an outdoor cooking appliance and now seeking to create a space which provides both atmosphere and function for entertaining guests or even just spending quality time with loved ones.
Granite Countertops
Especially considering the extremes of the Canadian climate from minus forty degrees (before the wind chill) in winter to the thirty degree and higher days of summer, it is important to first consider a countertop that is going to stand up to the weather conditions as well as providing good function to meet your needs. Granite in Edmonton landscape design makes sense. An expertly installed stone countertop is largely impervious to the elements, providing year after year of ideal function.
Another great value is the opportunity to extend the attention to detail in the warmth and décor of your home’s interior into your outdoor living space, choosing complimentary tones for your granite, or creating a unique space all its own. We invite you to check out our wide variety of stone products and colors here in Edmonton for your granite design project to and let’s talk about the look and feel that you aspire to create.
Landscape Fixtures for Lasting Enjoyment
Given its durability and versatility, many home owners look to granite as they are planning the overall look and feel of their yard space. Granite benches, for example, are popular additions, as they are able to remain in place, resilient to weather conditions and save the need for seasonal storage. Storage can be used for other things though such as BBQ’s and any other furniture that you wish to protect from the everchanging weather. You may want to consider getting something similar to these Backyard Storage Sheds Fort Worth, TX to store away any equipment for when you don’t need it so that your garden looks tidier. If you would rather keep all of your items outside, then granite could be the way forward in making sure that they don’t get damaged.
Available in a various of styles and finishes, granite adds a level of elegance to help decorate and disguise fixtures about your yard as well. Items such as stone sprinkler system valve covers add a decorative element, while also protecting and masking utilities infrastructure in the yard.
Adding an International Flavor
Some landscape design has been influenced by Japanese culture and some of the innovations as they relate to granite and stone are quite striking. Decorative granite lanterns are a popular feature to add an accent to decorative garden space. As well, plant basins in a variety of shapes, sizes and designs can also help to create a unique showcase for flower and plant arrangements.
