Montgomery Robbins, Inc. On Stone: A Timeless Choice for Beauty and Durability in Landscape Architecture
Stone has been an integral part of human history for over 2.5 million years, prized for its durability, stability, and natural beauty. Today, stone remains a cornerstone of contemporary landscape architecture and design, offering a unique blend of timeless style and modern functionality.
A Classic Aesthetic with Modern Appeal
Stone’s enduring presence in architecture has made it a symbol of tradition and sophistication. In residential landscape architecture, it can create ambiance like few other materials can. For example, Travertine pavers and wall caps evoke a Mediterranean charm while doubling as a practical choice for pool and spa edges, thanks to their porous, non-slip surface.
“Travertine and other high-end stones highlight key features in a landscape, allowing us to craft a stunning atmosphere that feels both modern and classic,” said John Montgomery, Founding Landscape Architect at Montgomery Robbins, Inc.
Durability and Versatility
The natural weight and durability of stone make it an ideal foundation for retaining walls, steps, and earth stabilization. Designers often vary formality within a landscape, pairing options akin to sleek Bluestone patios near homes with informal stone steps, local boulders, and crushed stone pathways farther out.
“Stone bridges the gap between formality and natural design, making it the perfect choice to transition from modern structures to organic landscapes,” Montgomery added.
Elevating Outdoor Kitchens and Furniture
Stone also shines in outdoor kitchens and furniture. Countertops made of Granite or Soapstone create striking visual statements while ensuring longevity. Soapstone, a top trend this year, offers a sleek, elegant black finish, while marbled Granite provides dramatic contrast.
“The details are what make stone truly exceptional,” Montgomery said. “Whether it’s a countertop, seating, or pathways, the right stone can elevate any space.”
Unifying Themes with Material Boards
The key to great landscape design is creating a unifying theme. Designers often use Material Boards to select stones and other materials intentionally, ensuring a cohesive look throughout a project. These boards are shared with clients during the design process, along with physical samples when possible.
“By incorporating our clients’ input, we make sure every stone serves a purpose, highlighting focal points and creating a seamless flow throughout the space in a way that they love,” Montgomery said.
From creating ambiance to ensuring functionality, stone continues to be a timeless and versatile choice for modern landscape design.
