Design to compliment
Are you living in a modernist or a traditional home? (If you don't know the difference check out our other blog on the subject). The exterior of your home should act as a backdrop for the design, textures, and colours you choose for your front entryway. While it's crucial that your front entrance fulfil its primary purpose as a place to welcome guests, a common design strategy is to imitate, enhance, or compliment the preexisting architectural features of your home and other landscape components that surround the space. For a unified look and feel homeowners will accentuate their front gardens with raised garden beds, retaining walls, and coping to lock in the garden with beautiful coloured stone. Extending the walkway with landings and steps that are spaced out can give more depth to the walkway and display the beauty of the paver stones or slabs. For an inviting look, dress up your space with accessories such as planter boxes, gardens, walls, boarders, pillars, lights, or high quality steps. 404Stone has you covered with all of these materials to enhance the curb appeal of your house as a whole.
Safeguard your entryway
The best entrances are those whose general design strategy takes scale, proportion, and function into account. The best way for you and your guests to move around with the greatest comfort is to ensure that your front path is never be less than 4 feet wide at any point. It is also important to consider edge constraints. Without them, the pressure from people walking on your doorway or freeze-thaw temperatures could cause your pavers or steps to "creep" or move out of position. Walls make excellent edges, however curbs or natural edge restraints will also work to create a safe entrance into your home. Speaking of walls, adding a lot of vertical features, you can transform a typical entrance into something extraordinary. Pillars can be utilized to mark the steps leading up to your front entrance and to direct attention to the front of the house. Walls can be used to create raised gardens on either side of your walkway, and steps can be used effectively to create a safe yet visually stunning entranceway. Let your home be the talk of the neighborhood. Embark on a landscaping project and transform your front entrance into a masterpiece with materials from 404 Stone.
