Fall Landscapes

With the arrival of the cooler weather, it’s clear that fall is heavily upon us! Everyone is spending more time inside and the only real thoughts of outside are the leaves covering the landscape. While you may be inside trying to stay warm and getting ready for winter, give your landscape some thought and think of hot sunny days and the warm nights. How will you be enjoying your landscape this coming summer?

Perhaps you will be enjoying your  outdoor living space, whether  it’s on a large pool patio or secluded seating area. Or maybe you dream of coming home to your gracefully curving front walk, meandering to the front door as it welcomes you home from a long work day.  Think of how relaxing it could be sitting in your backyard  enjoying the peace and tranquility of the landscape, while listening to the sound of a babbling brook, watching your Koi fish. 

 Isn’t this what everyone wants in the warmer spring and summer months?  So why not have it installed in the summer, right? Depending on the scope of your landscape project, it may take days or even weeks to have your project designed and built.  And after everything  is finished  you have to wait for the grass to grow back. Why not have your landscape installed this fall while your enjoying the shelter of the indoors so it is ready to enjoy during the summer season?

     Stillman Landscape attended New England grows this winter, one of the largest green industry conventions in the area! NE grows is fantastic for us in the winter.  It exposes us to some of the newest cutting edge materials and processes of the future. Although this year we had a snow storm during the event, we still made it there!

                One of the newest products we came across was a composite paver made of recycled bottles and tires. I could not even tell when looking at this paver, that it was not concrete or clay until the paver was handed to me. It was amazing to see how light weight it was. The color could perfectly replicate any paving stone. I’m extremely excited about being able to offer this paver, not only for aesthetics, but also for going green in a very sustainable way, durability and sustainability! How much greener does it get than recycled bottles and tires! Not only are these pavers an environmentally friendly option, but they also open up options of being in different outdoor spaces you wouldn’t ordinarily think of. A great example of this would be a roof top terrace; where the weight of materials being used is critical, or even on a deck, porch or breezeway! These pavers can be used on any type walkway, patio and driveway. There is also a style that is offered for being a permeable paver. Imagine that, using a permeable paver that allows rainwater to pass through the joints and is made of recycled materials!
