1. Cozy Natural Stone Patio
Marry the elegance of the comfy indoors with the airiness and refreshing vibes of the great outdoors. Building a patio in your backyard is a great way to encourage your family and your guests to spend more time enjoying your outdoor space, without giving up any of the comforts of indoor life. Natural stone tile provides a perfectly organic homey-meets-earthy aesthetic.

2. Classic Stone Fire Pit
Is there any greater joy in life than sitting around a fire with people you love? A natural stone fire pit or full-on outdoor fireplace is a beautiful, useful addition to virutally any backyard space. Opt for a stone circle for that camp-fire-esque, s’mores vibe, or create a large-scale stone mantle for a space that feels a little more luxury chalet. You could even take this one step further and create a stone pizza oven!

3. Natural Stone Walking Path
Don’t have a huge amount of space to work with? Not a problem! You can still use natural stone to make the outdoor space you do have feel a little more magical and unique to your family. Use single tiles or stone remnants to create a simple stepping stone path up to your front door, across your backyard, along a winding creek bed, or through your vegetable garden. The possibilities are endless!
