There is just something special about the color green and the way it brings a landscape to life. From bright green to forest green, it’s a vibrant color that symbolizes life and vitality. For that reason, our associates recommend using plenty of green when they’re providing hardscape tips to our clients.
When used for hardscaping, green softens the transition from the lush green grass and foliage to the harder elements such as stones and pavers. It creates a gentle transition that is soothing and relaxing.
One way to accomplish this is to mix green dye with concrete that can be formed and shaped to look like natural stone. Another option is to incorporate additional foliage in unexpected places around your hardscaping; ideas such as inserting a flowerbed in the middle of a sitting area, or using moss to cover rocks and pathways. Of course, these options take time to grow and fill out before the desired effect is achieved.
