Plan Your Design:
Visualize where you want the pathway, garden, or riverbed to be in your outdoor space.
Choose a Style:
Decide on the style you prefer, such as formal, natural, or meandering, to guide your material selection.
Measure Your Space:
Measure the area where you plan to incorporate decorative stones. This will give you a better idea of the quantity and sizes of stones you need, ensuring you purchase the right amount. Use this calculator AND BRING MEASUREMENTS WITH YOU!
Research Materials:
Learn about different materials like stones, gravel, sand, or river rocks that fit your chosen style. Clip pictures and bring your dreams with you.
Prepare the Area:
Clear the designated space of vegetation and debris to create a clean foundation.
Consider Edging:
Think about whether you'll need edging materials like pavers or bricks to define the pathway or garden.
Visualize the Layout:
Mark the layout using stakes and string to visualize how the design will fit in your space.
By following these steps, you'll be well-prepared to select the right materials for your garden project at Madison Stone & Garden.
