It is important to consider the long term practically and maintenance of the patio materials you select carefully...

When you are choosing the material to use as a foundation for your new outdoor patio design, it is important to think about the long-term practicality of the material you choose before you make a final decision. Here are a list of flagstone patio design advantages and challenges to showcase some of your options when it comes to selecting flagstone as your Atlanta home’s patio landscape and hardscape material of choice:

Ø Attractiveness

 Flagstone is an extremely attractive material. Homeowners generally want their home to stand out from the rest. Using flagstone in landscape and hardscape projects provides a way to achieve that goal. Flagstone is more aesthetically pleasing than artificial or synthetic materials like bricks or pavers. For example, flagstones have unique patterns that provide an antique and elegant look to patios, pathways or fireplaces. Thus, no two flagstone projects look alike because their stones don't contain the same shapes or markings. Another advantage to flagstone involves imagination. Using flagstone allows you to pick from a variety of color combinations to achieve an even more distinctive look for your Atlanta home’s landscape and hardscape design projects.

Ø Flagstone is extremely durable

Flagstone is an extremely durable, tough material. A project designed with flagstone typically won't corrode even when exposed to harsh hot Atlanta weather and freeze/thaw conditions. It has been reported that flagstones can last for at least 50 years. Another advantage to incorporating flagstone into your hardscape and landscape design involves suitability. Besides being extremely durable, flagstone is suitable to use for most outdoor hardscape and landscape protects because it can provide traction in wet weather. Thus, flagstone can protect you from possibly slipping on your patio or walkway.

Ø Uneven Surfaces

 The most common problem with utilizing flagstone involves creating an even surface when preparing for installation. Flagstones are available in different sizes. Also, flagstones range in thickness starting at an inch thick. When constructing a flagstone patio design project where you're using different sizes of flagstones, you must make sure to prepare the surface properly. A surface must be provided that fits the size and thickness of the flagstones so they settle evenly. Shortcuts should not be used such as cutting thicker flagstones into a thinner size. Besides ruining the character of the flagstones, cutting could then make them susceptible to breakage.

Ø Flagstone Installation

 Flagstone patio design and other projects installed by Arnold Masonry and Concrete will be a wonderful asset to your home’s landscape and hardscape. To enjoy the advantages of flagstone requires proper installation. Installing flagstone involves the knowledge of a number of stages such as making sure the ground is stable or determining whether sand or gravel is needed for its foundation. Eliminating any steps, such as not using a proper bed of gravel, could cause the flagstones to become unstable over time. Also, when any damage to one of the flagstones occurs, then all of the flagstones are compromised and must be removed, so proper installation is paramount to long term outdoor enjoyment.

Choices! Choices! Choices! It's all up to you...

Flagstone is an excellent choice to be used for your patio. In addition, you can even use a combination of flagstone and other different types of patio materials to make your patio unique and comfortable.

You also have to consider the drainage properties of each material. For instance, using individual stones such as flagstone, bricks, or pavers will let water run through more easily than a whole slab of concrete.

Choosing a patio material such as flagstone will be an added investment to your patio and your environment...

Please remember that your outdoor patio is an investment so an up-front higher cost can actually be a better expense in the long term. No matter what patio material you choose, make sure it’s easy to clean and maintain so that it will stand up well to the climate that you live in. In any case, it is always best to seek professional assistance and advise when selecting flagstone or any other materials for patio, landscape or hardscape design.

WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR BACKYARD

Have you ever looked at your backyard and thought there were more possibilities? Have you wanted to create that outdoor living space of your dreams into reality? ARNOLD Masonry and Landscape is here to help! With the owner and CEO of the Company being a Master Mason  and a Master Horticulturist as our Head of Landscape, we are more than capable of bringing your backyard and outdoor living to life! Anything is possible, just review our website and many social media links to see a sampling of our creations

To begin with we'd enjoy educating you about the different terms that sometimes get confusing. “Landscape” and “Hardscape”. Understanding these basic terms will also help you in choosing the right type of Company for the specific type of project you are seeking to create.

Landscape

                I bet you have called a sole Landscape Company to give you a price for a stone patio or a fireplace, etc.. Well, that patio or fireplace isn’t “landscaping”. Landscape is anything to do with living     (animate) things. Some examples would be sod, bushes, flowers,trees, etc. These are landscape items. This would be called "landscaping".

Here is a sample of a landscape project-

Hardscape

                Hardscape is a term most people are not familiar with. It’s the “scaping” of your property with non-living (inanimate) things. Some examples would be with the use of masonry materials such as stone, brick, and concrete. If you have a patio in your backyard or a walkway, a fireplace, pool, water feature, etc.. These are all hardscape items.This would be called "hardscaping".

Here is an example of a hardscape project ( with some minor landscape surrounding it)-

Landscape versus Hardscape

                So, in short, think of it this way. Landscape is anything living or animate and Hardscape is anything non-living or inanimate. It's important to understand these definitions in order to choose the correct type of Company to handle your project especially when you are seeking masonry and hardscape. Think of it this way - you don’t go to a butcher shop to purchase vegetables. With ARNOLD Masonry and Landscape, we ARE the butcher shop ( with veggies on the side ;) ).

Review our site and many social links as well as review links and sites. CONTACT US so that we can bring your backyard oasis or custom interiors to fruition!  770.345.2686

The following is just a partial listing of all of the  retaining walls services our company can provide for you as an Atlanta stone retaining walls masonry contractor:

Ø Curved Flagstone Retaining Walls

Curved flagstone retaining walls can be so much more appealing than just a straight wall! Gracefully curved flagstone retaining walls can add a stylish flourish to a backyard patio or landscape design. Circular retaining walls can create a sense of enclosure and privacy even though a retaining wall is low.

Ø Dry-Stacked Stone Retaining Walls

Asian-inspired design can be enhanced with the use of a dry-stacked stone style. A dry-stacked stone wall looks extremely natural. The natural spaces between stones in a dry-stacked retaining wall allow water to drain through, relieving pressure. Another advantage of dry-stacked stone walls is that you can create planting pockets for small rock garden plants such as sedums.

Ø Flagstone Retaining Walls

Slim flagstone stones stacked into low retaining walls make an attractive way to delineate space and add a sense of structure to a backyard landscape. Differences in flagstone thicknesses make it nearly impossible to build flagstone retaining walls  with an exact horizontal top. It's much easier to fit the flagstones without regard to thickness, and then choose flat pieces to create a level top. Low flagstone retaining walls can provide additional outdoor seating or a platform on which to display potted plants.

Ø Loose-Stone Retaining Walls

You can landscape steep slopes with a terrace of loose-stone retaining walls. Sedimentary flat stones, such as ashlar and flagstone, are among the easiest to use when building a wall of this type. Unlike other types of retaining walls, stacked-stone walls don't need drainage systems because water escapes naturally through the cracks between the stones.

Ø Low Stone Retaining Walls

Low stone retaining walls can create a clear barrier along  property lines without blocking the view. low stone retaining walls made of different shapes and sizes of stone add textural visual interest to a home's landscape and hardscape design. These retaining walls can also be topped with pots and containers.

Ø Mortared Fieldstone Retaining Walls

Fieldstone retaining walls make an attractive and natural wall that complements many home styles. Steps can be made from fieldstones and flagstones to compliment the retaining walls design .

Ø Mortared Stone Retaining Walls

Mortared stone retaining walls can be sized to fit any landscape. Sturdy mortared stone retaining walls hold in a natural slope that has been terraced to accommodate planting beds. Stone is an ideal choice for garden retaining walls because it provides sturdy, yet natural-looking building materials.

Ø Retaining Wall Ideas and Designs

There are different applications for retaining walls and the types of materials that you use will depend on the look you are after.  Both stone and masonry products make up a big portion of what is used today, though some wood applications exist, too.  Different retaining walls designs and looks exist that can provide you with a variety of front yard and backyard landscaping ideas.  Wood retaining walls consist of several types.

One is to create a type of ‘panel’ where there is a span of wood – with support posts – holding back the dirt.  In another type of wood wall, the use of railroad ties side-by-side creates the wall.  Railroad ties are a bit more of a dated look and can carry the risk of having the harmful chemicals used to preserve the wood leech into your soil.  If you’re using railroad ties for a raised garden bed or other planter for trees or flowers, this carries the risk of getting into those plants.

Retaining wall ideas need not be limited to these choices, but they do need to support the large mass of dirt, stone, plants and perhaps water, that exists on the other side of that wall.  There’s more to most wall styles than a simple barrier for your mulch from sliding off your yard.

For small yards, using retaining walls to create depth and dimension is what it’s all about.  Tiered retaining wall design influence where the eye is drawn.  Even in a small space, you can use a retaining wall to give you another dimension or height element where there may not have been one before. 

Ø Retaining Walls Construction

Drainage is a big issue for retaining walls.  Not only will your wall be holding up the dirt and matter behind it, but it also needs to be able to drain the water buildup properly.  In some cases, the wall itself may let the water through.  In other cases, like near a driveway, drainage must be built into your design.

Retaining walls for a driveway require proper drainage away from a home or neighbor’s property. You also may need the special permits. Water leakage and drainage problems can be your worst nightmare.  There is an amazing force to water, even when it is “only” a little bit at a time.  Over time, this could lead to large moisture and water problems.

Ø Wood Retaining Walls Design

Wood is one way to build a retaining wall.  If you take great care, it can last for quite some time.  However, wood will break down.  It deteriorates even with the best of care.  It’s an organic material and this is what happens to them.  You can slow the process by using treated lumber and woods that are more resistant to rot, but this can only buy you so much time.  There’s just one problem, wood is so great looking!  You can achieve looks combining wood with stone and masonry products.

Ø Stone Retaining Walls

Stone retaining walls can be made of natural stacked stone, dry stone, mortared and stone facade styles of walls.  The style of stone you choose will depend on your tastes and also the budget you have.  Some natural materials are more costly than others.  Another option is to go for a cultured stone product.  This is the style that is laid on top of some backing – either a moisture-proof plywood or backer board or right on top of  a poured or block concrete wall. 

Ø Poured Concrete Retaining Walls

A poured concrete retaining wall will typically give you a more modern or smooth, finished look – depending on the forms.  Once complete, the concrete forms are removed and you’re left with a relatively smooth finish that can be treated with a variety of applications, like an acid stain or paint.  These types of concrete designs are becoming more and more popular.

Another way is to use more ‘rough’ forms.  With these, the wood may leave a pattern or grain on the concrete as it cures.  Then, when finished, the concrete will retain that pattern.  You cannot achieve this look with a pre-formed concrete retaining wall block.  Similar patterns can be achieved on patio floors.  If traditional patio pavers are not your style, then consider this option to blend in with your wall.

Ø Recycled and Urban Materials Retaining Walls

With trends in home landscaping and hardscape design towards using more sustainable materials, using recycled products make great sense.  You may also opt for steel retaining walls that develop a rusty ‘patina’ as it ages.

Another eco-friendly look is the gabion.  These retaining walls are  made of river rock that is enclosed in a metal cage.  The same great urban look can be achieved by using steel that is not galvanized, so it will be allowed to rust.  These retaining walls look great in a variety of settings. 

Ø Simple Stone Retaining Walls

Simple stone retaining walls can be stacked of native stone. Using native stones can help the retaining walls ‘blend’ in more with the surrounding landscape and hardscape elements.

Stone retaining walls don't have to be tall or mortared. Simple dry-laid planter boxes can be made of large flat stones. Simple stone retaining walls can be built using a variety of stone types with flat surfaces that stack easily. Low retaining walls can be stacked using three to four layers of stones.

Ø Stacked Block Retaining Walls

Stacked block retaining walls can be constructed out of manufactured materials, such as concrete blocks, which make ideal building materials for smooth and uniform walls. The smooth lines of a well-constructed concrete block wall establish a firm landscape boundary and can complement the clean lines of the home and landscape. Walls like this create a clear delineation of space.

Ø Stone Block Retaining Walls

Stone blocks are commonly used to concrete retaining walls. There are different colors – like browns and red hues, too – grey is one of the more accessible choices. When it comes to walls, anything goes. Informal stone retaining walls can be made with large stacked stones.

Ø Undulating Fieldstone Retaining Walls

Undulating stone retaining walls create a barrier while looking stylish at the same time. Fieldstone offers a natural material for garden retaining walls. You can either dry stack stone or use mortar to hold it together. (Dry-stacked retaining walls should be no taller than 4 feet.) For a natural garden backdrop, stone retaining walls offer a classic and long-lasting option.

Whatever type of retaining walls you decide on for your Atlanta hardscape and landscape design, you can rest assured they will add lasting beauty to your home’s outdoor environment.
