Revamping the landscaping on your property can be an incredibly rewarding experience that not only increases curb appeal but makes the outdoors around your property more enjoyable and inviting. While most homeowners think of the trees, bushes, and flowers they want around their homes, they often overlook additional touches that can help tie everything together into a cohesive and beautiful landscape design.
One of the best additions to a home’s landscape is landscape stone. You can use landscape rocks in many clever ways to create visual interest as well as other functional benefits.
Landscape Rock Patios
Landscape stone can be a fantastic choice of material for the patios and sitting areas around your landscape. You can choose from all different types of landscape stone to match the exterior of your home and accentuate the greenery in your yard. Whether you’re designing a new patio for the back of your home, a detached sitting area, or a place for a garden table or fire pit, landscape stone is a fantastic option that’s durable and easy to keep clean.

Planting Bed Anchors
Landscape stone or even large boulders are the perfect material for keeping your planting beds secure while also creating visual interest and tying them together with the rest of the home. For example, a small front yard with a large planting bed benefits from landscape stone that matches the exterior color of the home.
Stone Walls
You can place walls on several areas around your landscape, all of which provide a timelessly beautiful aesthetic while also offering functional benefits. You can create a stone wall that separates your lawn from the street in front of your house, walls that line the sides of your driveway, or short walls around planting beds all around your property. You can also terrace slopes and control erosion by creating retaining walls with landscape stone.
