Landscape Design : Stony Creek Pink Granite

An oceanfront residence uses low-maintenance Stony Creek Granite pavers on this attractive pool deck, echoing the stairs and foundation, as do pink granite landscaping highlights. Front entries are often made from Stony Creek stair treads and well-fitted block.

This waterfront residence landscaping uses Stony Creek Granite stair systems including retaining walls, seawalls, copings and even decorative stone for the driveways and walks.

This pink granite bench (one of two) and sitting area awaits early arrivals at the historic Mystic Public Library, inviting guests to sit and read among the plantings. A granite veneer wall adds a traditional as well as environmental boundary along this residential street perimeter.

As practical as it is tasteful, this Stony Creek Granite veneer foundation extends to retaining walls and stairways surrounding the house, including exterior chimney (see insert) and interior hearth.

This home, with a view of the Thimble Islands, makes extensive use of Stony Creek Granite block and veneer for seawalls, stairs, access ramps, a boat ramp, retaining walls, driveway edgings and even a cookout grill.
