This is an example of a large rustic courtyard stone formal garden in Dallas.

Pathways and walkways are a design element that can be more then purely functional. By using natural stone pavers, like these shown here in Colorado redstone and NM buff sandstone, you can add visual interest and color to your yard, especially in the winter time when plants are bare and dormant. The stone traps heat and actually creates a warmer microclimate near its' borders, which helps those plants emerging in early spring. Creative stonework is one of Ecoscape's specialties, and is not limited to one type of material.

This beautiful custom stone cottage was tastefully designed by the architects of TS Adams Studio Architects. “Garden Cottage” is located in Highlands, North Carolina, located on a plateau in the southern Appalachian Mountains and nestled within the Nantahala National Forest. Highlands is a hidden gem of a town providing community charm, luxury mountain living and world-class golf. The unique and elegant details are evident throughout the interior and exterior of this Morgan-Keefe luxury custom home. Beautiful landscape, a slate roof, arched ceilings and shiplap walls are just a few of the features that make the Garden Cottage a work of art. J. Weiland

This inviting rustic fire pit area creates a peaceful outdoor retreat surrounded by natural landscaping and garden pathways. The circular seating arrangement encourages conversation and relaxation, while the gravel base and wood chairs add warmth and character to the space. Thoughtfully designed stepping-stone paths and lush greenery connect the fire pit to the rest of the backyard, blending functionality with natural beauty. This project reflects Outdoor Makeover & Living Spaces’ ability to design serene, comfortable, and timeless outdoor environments that enhance everyday outdoor living in Atlanta.
