Our Top Garden Ideas Using Stones for Every Outdoor Space
Drought-Resistant Dry Gardens
South Austin summers are tough.
That’s why we design dry gardens using gravel, crushed stone, and native drought-tolerant plants.
These modern, minimalist gardens:
- Eliminate the need for irrigation
- Reduce weeds and erosion
- Require little to no upkeep
- Blend beautifully with local architecture
Popular plant pairings include agave, cactus, and ornamental grasses set among decorative stones or river rock.
Stone Pathways and Walkways
Stone paths create structure and flow in your garden.
They connect different areas, patios, yards, and entryways while adding visual interest and charm.
We use:
- Limestone
- Flagstone
- Decomposed granite
- Crushed gravel
Each material is chosen based on style, drainage, and long-term performance.
Need lighting? We can integrate that too.
Raised Stone Beds and Retaining Walls
Stone retaining walls don’t just look good; they help with slope control and erosion prevention.
Our designs often feature:
- Layered stone beds for vegetables or flowers
- Short retaining walls that double as seating
- Natural stone blends for rustic or modern finishes
We also build stone-edged beds to neatly divide your lawn and garden space.
Decorative Stone Features
Want something that stands out?
We build unique focal points using:
- Boulder accents
- Stone water features
- Fire pit surrounds
- Seating walls
Even a few large rocks, placed intentionally, can create depth and dimension in an otherwise flat yard.
Graveled Seating Areas
You don’t need a full patio to enjoy your backyard.
We design gravel seating areas bordered with stone, creating cozy outdoor spaces perfect for reading, dining, or relaxing.
Paired with shade trees or simple pergolas, these setups feel like outdoor rooms made from nature.
