Landscaping Design Ideas Using Stone Column Cap

"Column" refers to standing perpendicular structure and "Cap" is the peak covering material. When combined, the word "Column cap" refers to the segment of the quarried stone slit in a square shape to be placed on the top of a pillar which is available at all the four corners of a rock face or chiselled edges. 

Column caps are signs of royalty and heritage as seen from the time of the Mughals. Antique columns and pillars were the notable components of the royal empire. Column caps are an elegant and unique way to add borders and unique accents to landscaping projects. Handmade custom stone walls and column caps are ideal for terraces, gardens, outdoor paths and expansive landscapes.

Landscaping Design Ideas Using Stone Column Cap

Pergola bases

The wooden posts of the pergola can go directly into the ground, but their placement on the concrete paving will improve the whole look. The base of the column also adds a large structure to the natural structure, which may seem rough.

Fences and Gates

All fencings must be anchored by means of posts. Homeowners abandon the simple posts that come with the fence and repair them instead with the column caps. The corner pillar or the middle post draws attention to both the beautiful wrought iron and the decorative wooden garden. The columns also create visual resting points. The garden-like large iterative pattern often tends to go unnoticed by the human eye. When stone pillars are added, the property’s fence is moved from the “empty side” to the royal heritage.

The columns around the gate separate the entrance to the home helping to raise steps to another level and announcing a walkway.

Roof supports

Outdoor areas, such as kitchens and bars, often require more than one pergola to cover. Roof constructions filled with beautiful stone columns are standard for commercial properties, but are becoming increasingly popular with homeowners. Although executed on a smaller scale, these structures actually increase the living space and outdoor time of the house for the family. Strong columns increase stability and allow designers to install work surfaces and bars on the floor.

Mailboxes

Mailboxes have come a long way. Gone are the days of the round black tin box. Sophisticated buildings have gained popularity despite the digital age. A simple option would be to attach the mailbox to the column cap instead of the wooden pole, but the sky is the limit of the owner’s imagination. Replicas of mini-houses, street benches and cascading stairs are a fair match for the columns of the mailboxes. Find a creative provider who has fun and originality.
