If you’re contemplating changing up some of your landscaping this spring, or planning the landscaping for your new build, keep in mind cohesiveness. “Flow” is a popular term used in home design and it has several different meanings but today we’re going to focus on its meaning when applied to cohesiveness with your exterior stone and your landscaping. You want to make your stone home feels like it is one with its surroundings in a way, or at home in your landscaping. Here are some perfect ideas to help you create that flow and cohesiveness between the two:

Turn in your old cement side walk and porch for a stone paver one.

Add boulders & stair treads.

Add stepping stones through the garden.

Add a stone bench.

Use stone pavers for your patio.

If your home is far back on your lot, consider an entry gate with stone pillars as part of your front walk up,

Or add a retaining wall with pillars for a front yard court yard feel.

Consider the uniqueness a stone sculpture can incorporate.

Stone planters are also a nice touch to create cohesiveness.

And a stone fire pit or fireplace could take the flow to the next level.

As well a outdoor kitchens and living spaces built with stone.
