Go Back to the Stone Age Taylor Lumber Offers Tips on How to Incorporate Stone Into Your Landscape

February 4, 2005 -- Landscaping is not just about plants anymore. The artful placement of landscaping stones can not only enhance the natural elements that you've already cultivated, but the aesthetic and functional use of stone can even raise the value of your property. For many, a boulder at a driveway entrance will suffice. But the possibilities are endless.

The use of hardscape materials has become increasingly popular, particularly stones. "We see a lot more people incorporating stones into their landscape to create borders or just add character to their garden", noted Len Hunt, General Manager of the Hardware Department at Taylor Lumber/ACE Hardware.

Marshfield based Taylor Lumber/ACE Hardware is a full-service hardware store and lumberyard located at 2075 Ocean Street (Route 139) in Marshfield, Mass.

Some creative use of stone includes, but is not limited to:

- Patio floors/walls
- Paths, including garden stepping stone walkways
- Retaining walls
- Foundations for porches, decks, or gazebos
- Accent pieces for water gardens and rock gardens
- Stone walls
- Vegetable garden or flower bed walls
