Asheville Landscaping: Stone Selection

It’s said that an apprentice of a Japanese stone master must spend a minimum of one year learning to select stone before he lays his hand on one.

Selecting stone for a dry stacked wall

I thought a lot about this saying today as we harvested stone from our clients property on Upper Flat Creek in Weaverville. We needed a few more select stones to finish the dry stacked planter beds we have been working on. 

The upper fields of the property were filled with piles of stone ranging in size from small rubble to 3 ton boulders. Over the years they have been pushing stones off the grazing area for the cattle. 

This left us, as stone workers, a goldmine of choices for our walls. 
Choosing stone to fit a particular project requires some vision of the future of the stone selected. Though we do cut and shape stones as needed, we select stones to fit the wall with minimal cuts and shaping. 

All in all, it was a fun trip up the meadow to enjoy the beautiful valley and look at some ancient local rocks. 

I love my job!!

Paradise found!

Do you ever dream of creating a piece of paradise in your yard?

Do you ever wish you could vacation in your own garden?

Asheville Landscaping I know, I’m pushing the limits a little here! But really, what if you could pick and choose the the most relaxing and enjoyable aspects of your dream vacation and create that in your own yard?! 
A stretch maybe, but think about it, what’s more relaxing then the comforts of your own home? 

What if you came home each day from work to a vacation in your own backyard?
No travel stresses, no jet lag, just the sound of a soothing waterfall as you sip tea on your own patio. 

As the sun sets, the landscape lighting comes on and sets a relaxing twilight tone, reflecting on the shimmering water of a peaceful koi pond and highlighting the beautiful flowers in the landscape you helped design. 

Imagine the possibilities! 
Maybe I’m a dreamer, but I’m not ashamed! 

I love seeing the look on our clients faces when we complete a custom mini-paradise in their yard. 


We love what we do! And we enjoy working with our clients to create dream gardens and backyard vacation spaces. 

Give us a call anytime to talk about your yard or garden space.
