Stone walls Bring New Life to Your Landscaping

Landscaping fashions have changed a lot over the years, and in many cases, a plain lawn can be a little too passe. If you’re looking for something to spice up your yard next year, consider adding stone walls to your landscaping. Walls in general are a very versatile part of any green or hardscape. Consider some of these concepts for your walls.

Raised Gardens or Planters

A short wall can easily be turned into a raised planter or garden, depending on your tastes, and a separate set of raised stone garden beds can really add sophisticated air to a large yard while making the best functional use of the space. You can also easily attach the raised planters to your backyard’s dividing walls to bring a bit of nature into a hardscape.

Retaining Walls

If your yard has a natural slope to it, combining retaining walls with planters makes for a very striking design. The walls naturally break up the landscape, while also accenting a stone staircase’s natural beauty and serving a functional purpose.

Accent Walls

With especially large yards, so much space can seem intimidating. Breaking the yard into smaller, more manageable spaces can turn a yard that seems too large into a charming collection of intimate spaces. In addition to breaking up different sections of the garden, walls can be used as planters or to create a more organized look for a slope as noted above.
