Commercial landscape projects often require materials that are attractive, durable, and economical to maintain.

Project Overview

Project type: Commercial office complex
Application: Entrance landscaping, pathways, planting areas
Material: Natural loose stone
Design style: Contemporary commercial landscape

Design Approach

The landscape architect used natural loose stone around the main entrance and pedestrian areas to create a clean transition between the building and landscaped zones.

Large architectural stepping stones were combined with smaller loose stone to form pedestrian routes.

The stone was also used around trees and planting areas, reducing the amount of exposed soil and creating a more finished appearance.

Project Result

The completed landscape gave the office complex a professional appearance while reducing maintenance requirements associated with large areas of lawn.

Using loose stone selectively rather than across the entire site also helped control material consumption and project costs.
