Monumental eye catcher - Tips for landscaping with boulders
As ambassadors of bygone ice ages, boulders in the garden design stage with magical charisma. In order to create the optical effect in perfection, important criteria have to be considered. This guide gives tips on how to integrate majestic stone solitaires harmoniously into your garden.
As if he has always been there - tips for the authentic design
The art of creative garden design with boulders lies in not letting the chunks appear as foreign bodies. We have looked over the shoulders of the high priests of garden art as they authentically integrate a majestic natural stone into the design plan. This is how it works:
The huge stone monuments never lie on the ground surface in the wild. Their weight always causes boulders to sink into the ground to a good extent.
Sexy contrasts with boulders and plants - that's how it works
By socializing boulders in the garden with contrasting plant species, the magical appeal is enhanced. Arrange the imposing natural stone in the midst of a grass and moss landscape or in the center of the Heidegarten, gentle forms and exciting colors meet to create a gardening Gesamtkunstwerk.
Strive for a primitive appearance, surround boulders with gnarled, half-high shrubs, like the crippled pine.
The concentrated power of nature finds expression in a combination of boulders and water. Solitaire, the mighty chunks are ideal for the design of romantic water features or draw as a source stone all eyes. As a stony group, the giant rocks give the swimming pond and fish pond or a stream the stamp of wild natural beauty.
Patina desired
Freshly scrubbed, boulders lose much of their authentic aura. We therefore recommend leaving the natural patina on the surface. Should the algae growth take over in humid-cold weather, the problem with water and a hand brush is solved in no time.
Tips
The many uses of foundlings are not limited to the garden. By setting a grave stone as an unprocessed monolith of the region, you impressively demonstrate the home affinity of the deceased.
