The Landscaping Techniques of Natural Stones in Modern Gardens
Apr 08, 2024The unique textures, shapes, contours, and colors on stone all have this unique aesthetic significance. Combining these factors with the points, lines, and surfaces in modern aesthetics can help to unleash the aesthetic characteristics of stone landscape design in garden landscape architecture.
When implemented in landscape matching, stone can be combined with plants, water features, paths, etc. to create different garden landscapes within the spatial range, playing an important role in landscape construction.
Natural stones are mainly used in modern gardens to create landscapes through the following techniques:
1. Embellishment
Small original stones in the courtyard are often scattered in small groups, like stars scattered in the sky walking in the courtyard, giving people a leisurely feeling.
2. Slicing
In some modern landscape design, stone is cut into several pieces, so that the white patterns inside the stone can be displayed in a crisscrossing manner. When placed in a staggered manner, it gives the illusion of being by the seaside in a courtyard built of flowers, plants, stones, and wood.
3. Rockery
The surface of natural raw stones is sharp and rugged, with white patterns alternating between them. This appearance inevitably reminds people of the towering and steep peaks. The black stone is pieced together into a rockery and decorated with grass and wood, accompanied by the water scenery. The softness of flowing water and grass meets the coldness of black stone, and the beauty of nature arises naturally.
4. Mirror surface
Traditional stone selection mostly emphasizes "leakage, transparency, wrinkles, and thinness". The original rough surface of the stone is retained, and it is cut in half with a sharp cut. After polishing and glossing, it presents a mirror like texture.
5. Sink
Similar to the stone water bowl, the flowing water will slowly flow down the lines of the stone sink. From this, it can be seen that the sink prefers to use the delicate texture of polished stone, reflecting the beauty of firmness and softness.
6. Irregular processing
Irregular processing is the custom cutting of stone, and the natural raw stone's rich and elegant color scheme can handle various shapes. The collision between the simplicity of stone itself and the modern sense of fashionable shapes after irregular processing leaves a lasting impression on people.
7. Water bowl
Polish the surface of the stone and carve out smooth patterns one after another, allowing flowing water to fill the grooves on the surface of the black mountain stone. The entire scenery is dynamic and peaceful. Placing the stone water bowl in the garden will definitely become the finishing touch.
