Landscaping aesthetic element

Decorative stone is stone used primarily for visual appeal rather than structural support.

It includes polished slabs for countertops, tumbled pebbles for landscaping, and carved ornaments for gardens or interiors.

The term covers both natural materials like marble and granite and manufactured alternatives: We lined the walkway with decorative stone.
