5 Amazing Features Made of Stone to Add to Your Landscape

How to Incorporate Beautiful Stonework Into Your Landscape

Creating a beautiful yard is a great way to increase property value. For many, such projects are also a way to express their creativity and surround their property with beauty. Among the materials commonly used for such a purpose is natural stone. Here are just five of the many possibilities when it comes to adding stonework to a landscape:

Stepping Stones
With just a few beautiful pacers or pieces of natural flagstone, you can create a beautiful path of stepping stones to embellish your yard. Now only will this make it easier to traverse your yard, but it will also add a new level of appeal. Use round stones for a softer look or more angular ones to modernize the space.

Water Features
Use stones to create a standalone fountain that will trickle calmingly and turn your yard into an oasis. The stonework is often added to create a bed for a small, personalized brook as well. There are many ways to create a stunning water feature with stones, and it’s always a fun and creative process.

Boulder Clusters
Choose boulders and stones of different sizes, colors, and types. Find the best places for them in parts of your yard that need more decorating. Placing the boulders and rocks in clusters can break the monotony of a flat and empty yard by creating focal points.

Granite Walkways
A very cost-effective way to boost your landscape appeal is by creating lovely walkways using granite. This material can be found in various grain sizes to meet your preference. It is also available in several different colors, making the styling choices even greeter.

Borders for Flower Beds
A way to take your flower beds to a new level of appeal is by surrounding them with lovely stones or masonry. Creating small retaining walls will make the flower beds look more distinguished. Additionally, making these beautiful borders will also help fight erosion.
