One of my favorite aspects of landscape architecture is the deliberate use of natural materials. They bring warmth, texture, and a sense of groundedness to any outdoor space. 🍃 When designing, think about how wood, stone, and gravel can elevate your garden's aesthetic and functionality. It's about creating a dialogue between the built and the natural. **Wood:** For decks, benches, pergolas – opt for sustainable, weather-resistant types. **Stone:** Paths, retaining walls, decorative features – brings enduring beauty. 🗿 **Gravel/Pebbles:** Ground cover, Zen gardens, drainage – adds texture and defines spaces. These elements connect us to the earth and create timeless beauty. What natural materials do you love most in gardens?
