Fall Landscaping Projects: Incorporating Natural Stone Features

As the weather cools and the leaves begin to change, homeowners start thinking about cozy backyard retreats from which they can enjoy nature’s vibrant display. Natural stone provides countless options for enhancing the functionality and aesthetic appeal of outdoor spaces, and Garrity Stone, Inc. has plenty of materials available for your unique needs. Let’s take a look at some ways that you can incorporate natural stone features into your fall landscaping projects.

A Cozy Natural Stone Fire Pit

We all have memories of sharing stories and laughs around a fire with loved ones, and a natural stone fire pit will give you and your family a cozy, memorable place to gather during the cooler fall evenings ahead. Garrity Stone, Inc. has various stone options available for you to craft a rustic fire pit that will stand as a focal point in your backyard.

An Inviting Flagstone Walkway

Now is the ideal time to install some walkways before winter arrives. We offer different colors and sizes of flagstone slabs to create walkways where you need them on your property, such as from your driveway to your front door or your back porch to your fire pit. The irregular shapes and natural flagstone texture will complement the fall landscape nicely.

Complementary Natural Stone Steps

If you have a multi-level landscape or sloped areas in your yard, you might benefit from natural stone steps. Visit our five-and-a-half acre lot to see all of the steps in our inventory and determine which would best blend into your landscape while creating a seamless transition between elements. We also have snap stone steps for a more orderly look if uniformity is important to you.  

Landscape-Enhancing Stone Edging 

The arrival of fall means that our days with flowers and other plants are numbered. But that doesn’t mean you can’t continue to enhance your landscaping areas. Using stones to create an ornamental edge around your flower beds, along walkways, or around trees will provide a polished look to your landscape while your flowers hibernate for the year. The edging will also serve a functional purpose, keeping soil or mulch in place throughout the fall and winter.
