About Rocks

One of the key questions in deciding upon a rock feature is the type of stone. Each type of stone has its own unique characteristics. It is only by seeing the actual rock that one can appreciate the range of contrasts, shapes and textures.

  • LIMESTONE - blue, grey & greens- an excellent choice for landscapes and water features

  • ·
  • SANDSTONE - beige, orange and brown earth tones-excellent for bring a feeling of warmth to a shaded area.
