Stone in the Landscape


Other than plants, stone is the most natural element used in gardens. Stone adds natural beauty and increases the value of your property along with giving you the ability to use and enjoy your landscape.

The availability of so many different types of stone and its versatility combined along with endurance makes it an excellent choice for creating garden features. Your garden also gains color and texture.

Stone can be used to level areas for a patio or walkways. Its strength is perfect for retaining and terracing to create usable space out of existing problem areas with uneven ground or steep slopes.

The enjoyment of your garden is greatly enhanced with the musical tones coming from a water feature constructed with stone. Depending on your preference and stone selection, your water feature can be formal or have a natural style.

Cooking and dinning outdoors is more enjoyable with the addition of a patio kitchen and pizza oven. Stone is the perfect material for the installation of your grill and constructing preparation and storage areas.

After dinning, gather around to relax by your custom built stone fireplace or fire pit. There are many evenings and mornings from fall to spring to enjoy the glow and warmth brought by the element of fire.

For many projects, the quality and overall appearance of your stone feature depends on the placement of each and every stone. Many patterns can be created using different sizes and shapes of the same stone or mixing different types of stone together.
