Supplying Stone Products for Your Hardscaping and Water Feature Projects This Season

May 12, 2023
The serenity of flowing water in your backyard gives a sense of privacy by masking noises and allowing you to listen to the tranquil sounds of water flowing over a waterfall. Our customers come to RSSY, Rock Stone and Sand Yard, for many hardscaping ideas and especially water feature ideas.
 
Our customers seeing the changing world and economic tides have been trading vacations for “staycations” and are looking for ways to build on their biggest investment… their home. Building a water feature is the perfect way for homeowners to create a relaxing space, while adding value to a home.
Water features come in all shapes and sizes, allowing you to express your personal design style. Options include ponds, pondless waterfalls, fountains, container water gardens, and any combination in between. No matter what size space you have, there is sure to be an option that will fit your hardscape budget.
 
Water is the base of life, so humans and animals are naturally drawn toward water. Wild birds, dragonflies, turtles, butterflies, and frogs will enjoy your new outdoor addition. When designing your pond, think about ways to include food and shelter options for these critters. This will provide them with a habitat in your backyard that will both entertain and build into the overall ecosystem.
 
Call us today (703) 339-8095 or stop by the Yard to speak with one of our representatives concerning water features.

The Functions of Interlocking Retaining Walls

February 7, 2023
Retaining walls are often found in places where extra support is needed to prevent the earth from moving downhill with erosion. The most basic function of a retaining wall is to battle gravity; the lateral force of the slope must be offset in the retaining wall’s design. Retaining walls can also:
  • Provide more usable land
  • Manage water runoff
  • Provide extra seating
Call (703) 339-8095 or visit the Yard today to discuss your retaining wall applications and review our products lines including Belgard, Nicolock, Keystone Hardscapes and Tech-Bloc.
