1. Dry River Bed
Use smooth river rocks and gravel to create a winding dry riverbed.
Add larger boulders and drought-tolerant plants for a natural look.
Ideal for drainage solutions in low areas.
2. Stepping Stone Pathway
Use large flagstones or irregularly shaped stones set in gravel or mulch.
Incorporate moss or creeping ground cover between stones for a soft, organic feel.
Curved paths create a more inviting flow.
3. Rock Garden
Use a mix of different-sized stones and drought-resistant plants like succulents and ornamental grasses.
Arrange boulders to create height and dimension.
Incorporate crushed granite or pea gravel as ground cover.
4. Stone Retaining Walls
Stack natural stone or use cut stone blocks for a more refined look.
Great for creating terraced gardens or preventing soil erosion on slopes.
Pair with cascading plants for added beauty.
5. Pea Gravel Patio
A budget-friendly alternative to concrete or pavers.
Add a border of bricks or larger stones to define the space.

Combine with water features like small waterfalls or ponds.
Great for adding natural texture and depth to a landscape.
7. Stone Mulch Beds
