Natural stone masonry and stonescaping is an important element in a garden.

MASONRY & STONESCAPING

  • Cultured Stone
  • Stone Veneer
  • Dry Stack Walls
  • Mortared Stone Walls
  • Placement Boulders

See our Masonry and Stonescaping Portfolio Here

Our rustic masonry and stonescaping includes mortared or dry stack fieldstone walls, large placement boulders and a variety of cultured stone applications.

There are many varieties of stone available for walls; we also build walls with cinder block or poured concrete, and then face them with cultured stone, stone veneer or with flagstone, always with a flagstone cap. The advantage of cultured stone and stone veneer is that there are hundreds of colors and styles to choose from.

Our flagstone work is really a form of masonry, but we have it listed under Patios and Walkways. We also build brick walls and use brick to accent patios and to edge lawns.

Stone adds a texture to a garden that contrasts with the greenery of plant material and the color of flowers; it is the contrast in texture that adds interest. Details Landscape Art creates natural stone elements as part of the entire landscape design.
