At James River Nurseries, we love projects that let us highlight the land’s natural beauty. Our team is currently at work on an exciting install in Powhatan, Virginia, where the property’s natural bedrock has inspired a truly unique design.
Designing With Natural Stone
Instead of reshaping the land, we’re embracing it—using natural stone steps and a boulder wall to complement the property’s existing features. These elements not only provide structure and function but also blend seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. By incorporating the site’s character, the finished design will feel timeless and rooted in place.
Projects like this remind us why we’re passionate about landscape design: the opportunity to work with the land, not against it. Natural stone installations are durable, beautiful, and environmentally conscious—perfect for homeowners looking for an outdoor space that feels authentic and lasting.
The Benefits of Using Natural Stone
Natural stone has been a cornerstone of landscape construction for centuries. According to the Natural Stone Institute, stone offers unique advantages, including:
- Longevity: Built to endure decades of use and weather.
- Sustainability: Quarried stone has a low lifecycle impact compared to many manufactured materials.
- Beauty: Each piece of stone is unique, creating landscapes that can’t be duplicated.
For homeowners, this means an outdoor space that is both practical and one-of-a-kind.

We can’t wait to share the final photos once the project is complete. This landscape will stand as an example of how thoughtful design can transform outdoor spaces while honoring the natural environment.
