Creative landscape designs can boost your curb appeal and add beauty and elegance to your outdoor space. If your garden is full, it’s time to look at new ways to organize the space with stone walls. Here are three ways to make clever use of this masonry feature.

How to Add Stone Walls to Your Landscape Design

1. Create a Stone Seating Wall

Sometimes adding a stone wall is all you need to breathe new life into your outdoor space. If you enjoy the look of your flower bed, but feel it could benefit from something to help it pop, install a wall for definition. Not only does it separate the flowers from the rest of the yard, but it can also be a practical addition. You can use it as a seating bench, for example, or place small garden ornaments on it.

2. Dramatize Your Hilly Spots

Your landscape design will come to life when you use stone walls to create a more artful space on the hilliest spots in your yard. A wall will not only eliminate the appearance of the slope, but also make the space more useful. Your landscaping expert can create a set of tiered walls atop the hill to provide depth. Adding flower beds or rock gardens to each tier will layer the yard’s colors for more visual intrigue.

3. Plant Flowers in the Wall

Stone walls are safe and nurturing spots for some types of plants, particularly if you use a retaining wall for the purpose. It will still have plenty of moist soil behind it, which provides a healthy environment for plants to thrive. Look for small, delicate plants in lively colors and bountiful blooms to stand out against the rocks.
