Low walls, crafted out of brick or stone, add structure and flow to the landscape. See how to incorporate garden walls into your space.
A stone garden / retaining wall can impart a sense of privacy and intimacy, outline an outdoor dining room or seating area, and add structure and flow to the landscape. Garden walls can be constructed from a wide variety of stone types, from natural-looking field stone to sophisticated bluestone slabs. Depending upon the arrangement, the garden wall can further enhance the overall aesthetic, from an easy curve around informal plantings, or strict angles in a more formal setting.
