4 Ways to Incorporate Natural Stone into Your Home’s Landscape

There are plenty of beautiful homes in and around Indianapolis. Make yours stand above the rest, by incorporating natural stone features into your landscape. With the help of Garrity Stone, Inc., your home’s landscape will be the envy of the neighborhood! Here are four ways to incorporate natural stone into your landscape this summer.

1. Frame Landscape with Rock

Shrubs, plants, and trees are beautiful additions to your home's landscape; they add color and visual appeal. To add definition and a sense of structure to your planted areas, add a stone border. Rock looks natural and blends with all styles of landscape. Plus, it's completely maintenance-free!

2. Build a Stone Patio

To create a comfortable outdoor living space, improve the look of your lawn, and increase your home's value, add a patio! Flagstone is a popular choice for constructing patios, because it is durable, comes in a variety of colors, and can be used to create visual interest and patterns. Our flagstone pavers come in many sizes and colors, ensuring that you'll find exactly what you're looking for.

3. Boulders

For a touch of drama, incorporate boulders into your landscape. We stock boulders in sizes ranging from 5 pounds to 2 tons, and in shades of pink, blue, brown, red, tan, and white. They make a great addition to planting beds, retaining walls, water gardens, and patios. 

4. Build a Retaining Wall

To make better use of a sloped lawn, add a retaining wall. Highly-functional retaining walls are also beautiful, and create flat areas for patios and flower beds. We stock wall stones in a variety of shapes, colors, sizes, and textures, giving you total creative liberty with the look of your wall.
