6 Ways to Use Stone That Will Completely Transform Your Outdoor Living Experience

Stone is one of the easiest and most low-maintenance ways to remodel or refresh an outdoor landscape, and there are countless varieties and ways to use it.

  • Adding a small pond with pebbles or a large rock can bring something new to a yard that’s become sparse.
  • Build a waterfall feature or use smaller stones with a few plants for a splash of color.
  • Instead of using mulch, consider using use decorative stone.
  • Boulders can be used to build practical retaining walls or a flashy fire pit.
  • If you wanna go big at home, lay stone steppers and a garden bed edge wall to increase the depth and create a more natural path in any space.
  • Stone patios have a tremendous aesthetic appeal that’s way more homey than concrete.

When it comes to selecting what type and size of stone to use, it’s best to consider what the stone will be used for and where it’s going in the space. Some types of stone may deteriorate or erode in certain climates or certain positions. Always research or talk to your landscaper about what stone is right for you and your project.

Stone of all kinds adds texture and a hassle-free, natural beauty to any landscape. It conveys strength, permanency, and stability. Having a barbecue on a stone patio or gathering around a fire pit turns the outside of your home into a place where memories are made, and relationships are strengthened. From pebbles to boulders, there’s nothing that stone can’t do.
