Increased Demand for Stone Landscape Design Projects

In the realm of landscape design, there's a shift towards embracing the raw beauty and enduring appeal of natural stone. Once confined to traditional settings, natural stone is now experiencing a resurgence in popularity among homeowners, landscape architects, and designers alike. With an increase in demand, our curiosity got the better of us and we decided to find out why.

After talking with homeowners, landscape professionals, and our Authorized Dealers, we were able to narrow it down to these three reasons:

1. Versatility: Natural stone offers a diverse range of textures, colors, and shapes, making it incredibly versatile in landscape design. Whether you're aiming for a rustic, minimalist, or luxurious aesthetic, there's a type of natural stone to suit your vision. The products range from garden paths and flagstone patios, to retaining walls, and even simple granite accents. The aesthetic possibilities are virtually limitless. 
   
   
2. Durability and Longevity: One of the most compelling reasons for the popularity of natural stone in landscape design is its exceptional durability and longevity. Unlike synthetic materials that may deteriorate over time, natural stone is inherently resilient to the elements, capable of withstanding harsh weather conditions, heavy foot traffic, and other environmental stressors. This durability ensures that stone features such as retaining walls, patios, and garden borders retain their structural integrity and aesthetic appeal for generations to come, making them a worthwhile investment for homeowners seeking sustainable landscaping solutions.
   
   
3. It Saves Money: As we mentioned above, natural stone is durable which reduces the need to repair and replace. This saves money in the long run but what about the short term savings? Natural stone requires almost no maintenance. There is no watering, feeding, or trimming. The ability to hold up to the elements means there is no need to replace it annually, and it will still maintain the natural beauty it had when selected. Whether you’re managing it on your own, or have a professional landscaping company do it, there is less work that needs to be done which means less money out of your pocket.
