Natural Stone in Landscaping: Garden Paths, Edges and Patios

How natural stone is used in gardens and outdoor spaces, and how to choose it.

Natural stone brings colour and texture to outdoor spaces and lasts well when chosen and laid properly.

Typical uses

Garden paths, patios, edging, retaining walls, steps, water features and driveways all use natural stone, from flagstone paving to cobbles and boulders.

Choosing the stone

Look for non-slip finishes, suitable thickness for the load and colour that suits the surroundings. In climates with freezing weather, ask about frost resistance.

Preparation

A stable, well-drained base is essential. Poor drainage and weak bases are the most common reasons for uneven paving.
