Exteriorscapes llc These are Granite, which is a much more stable stone than limestone. There are several different grades of limestone, so make sure that your installer knows what he is doing and is educated about the stone.

I like this because it can make a seemingly boring space a lot more interesting because the rock steps are harmonious with the garden scheme. Also instead of it just being flowers, you have something different, but something that still matches the theme you're going for.
