When choosing materials for outdoor renovation for gardens and roof tops, these few requirements must be met. The material must be
- Safe;
- Beautiful;
- Durable, especially in Singapore’s extremely hot and humid weather.
Other than artificial grass and decking, we often look to stones to enhance the design of garden landscapes here in Singapore. They come in a variety of colours, shapes and sizes, and can be used on the floor, walls and even as sculptures.
On a recent visit to a stone supplier located in where I believe is one of the most ulu parts of Singapore, I saw these beautiful stones that sparked ideas galore. These gifts from Mother Nature are extra durable and beautiful.
Think patterned garden steps, Kyoto-zen style landscape right here in Singapore, and that good luck stone feature that your Fengshui master prescribed. You can find them all here.
When working with homeowners for their garden landscape design, Absolut Outdoors takes all the available materials like these stones into account. We start designing around these easily available materials first as we believe that with a bit of imagination and creativity, these stones can be matched with artificial turf, decking or water features to create a unique and beautiful garden that suits your needs.
It’s about taking the ordinary and making it extra-ordinary with a bit of heart and understanding of your needs. So if you think your garden could do with a bit of sprucing up, or total makeover, be sure to contact Absolut Outdoors for a free site visit and quotation.
石头记
在进行装修之前,我们总要考虑到选用的材料能否抵抗新加坡酷热和潮湿两极化的气候。当然,选用的材料也必须是安全,美观和大方。
圆形石头
除了常用的人造草皮和木质材料以外,其实有没有想过,石头也是非常好的选择?
那天,我就来到了新加坡某个比较偏僻的角落观赏石头。各式各样、琳琅满目的石头就那么一望无际,形成了一副无比壮观、且美丽的风景线。
各式各样的石砖
古人说,他山之石,可以攻玉。可见石头在古人的地位其实并不低,还没提到那些专门玩赏石头的专家呢。
配搭得当,石头能为你打造一个优雅,和舒适的花园;让你在新加坡这个繁忙的都市里,能够强烈感受,大自然和石头之间的混搭,所带出来的绵绵凉意。也有些人也因为风水的缘故而必须要在家中摆置石头。
石头,看似平凡不过的材料。透过我们的创意心思和巧手,务必能把你的花园家居在炎炎夏日里,带来丁点丝丝的禅意。
