    What Are Outcroppings in Landscaping?

    Landscape outcropping refers to big pieces of rugged, flat stone used for retaining walls, accent pieces in flower beds, steps, and building multi-level landscapes. Pieces range from about 3-5 feet long, 3-4 feet deep, and 6-12 inches tall. Due to their weight and size, they require professional installation.

    Ideas & Inspiration

    Draw inspiration for your living space from these unique and creative applications of our natural stone products.

    Common Applications

    Here are examples of how outcropping stones can be creatively used in landscaping:

    Retaining Walls

    Retaining Walls

    Another use of landscape stones is as landscaping wall stones, implementing the stone to create a retaining wall to block sections of your landscape or create dimension. With this option, thicker stones are stacked one on top of the other to create a retaining wall, adding a natural element to your landscape while breaking up the design to serve as more than just a decorative finish.

    These are just a few examples of the many ways sandstone slabs can be utilized in various applications, showcasing their versatility and adaptability to different design requirements and preferences.

    What People Are Saying About Stone Center

    Te Gerasco (lifemettle)

    Fantastic service and product. We live out of state and were unable to locate the product we were looking for locally. Chris at Stone Center worked with us over the phone, and via email to provide product photos and pricing. Extremely satisfied. I give my highest recommendation.

    Courtney Bailey

    When you walk in the doors you are welcomed and feel valued. The environment is friendly and you can tell the owners truly care about their employees and customers. Hands down this small business, veteran owned stone center is the best in Columbus!

    Aubrey Mangum

    Stone center has such a beautiful selection of natural stones and custom limestone caps. Years ago I fell in love with their full color limestone treads and Jurassic wall-stone, and am back for more for another landscape project!

    Alex Browning

    Spent a full day going to 4 stone yards in town to secure the best stone at the best price for a project I'm doing for a customer. I can say that Stone Center had the best stone, the best price AND the best service. We bought 18,000 lbs of stone from them and had it delivered.

    Stone comes from quarries... you will find the same stone at various stone yards, like in most industries... we saw the exact same stone for double the price at a stone yard out east. We were in the yard for 30 minutes at another place and nobody ever approached us, and when we went inside they seemed annoyed to answer my questions.  At yet another yard, without context, they said if my customer came to look at the stone they wouldn't tell her any of the prices.. that didn't sit well with me. I make money from my skills and labor, not by being a middle man and marking up retail prices..

    At stone center they came out immediately to help us in the yard, were eager to assist and were knowledgeable about the product and pricing. They had the best pricing in town by far. We will be coming back here for all future stone projects!

    Brittany Schwieterman

    Highly recommend Stone Center for quality and satisfaction. I particularly appreciate Jim Lestock’s helpfulness and reliable answers without coming across as pushy. When it comes to working with stone, Dave DeAloia is a true artist and craftsman. If you want the job done right, look no further.
