STONE UTILISATIONS IN LANDSCAPE APPLICATION IN CRAIOVA CITY

In many ways stones are the bone of the earth. Stone in its many forms is a tangible, useful material that can find a place in every yard. The color selection, texture, cuts and paver size available will cater to any project for landscape. (Kristen Hampshire et al. 2009).In the beginning, the gardens had a utilitarian purpose, being made up of plants with a food role. Then the gardens take on the role of religious meditation, rest, culture and recreation. (Daniela Posta. 2015).Stone is a material that is born and evolves in nature as it is detached over time with stable, simple and almost primitive methods. Therefore, together with wood, it is undoubtedly the most suitable material for the formation of forest recreation areas, which are the most widespread means of human contact with nature and its beauties. The use of stone constructions in forest recreation is perfectly in harmony with the natural environment. Thus, people have the possibility to escape from the hectic rhythms of everyday life in forest recreation areas, relax and enjoy the forest through the conveniences offered by the stone constructions.
