8+ Natural Stone Designs for External Wall of Your Home

In ancient days, stones were prime construction material and used freely in each space design in your homes and workplaces. Today, we have better and economic choices, but the original charm and benefits of natural stones are unforgettable. Therefore, we used to opt stones for our most of exterior applications while compromise in interior design with stone veneers, which are thin slices of stones and satisfy us at some extents.
Many homeowners and contractors are striving for applications of natural stones for their interior as well as exterior spaces and looking some picturesque ideas to show others and discuss over it. I hope my endeavors to place and narrate at least 10 natural stone wall ideas may assist them.

1. Edged Path Retaining Wall

Retaining wall adjoining to path provides an opportunity to be artistic. How? Natural stones have their colors, textures, and patterns. You can use different kinds of stones in different sizes and shapes to create artistic walls. Stone veneers offer such opportunities a lot. Local stones, stone chips, and colored pieces of stones provide variations in the design. A wavy pattern brings the symmetry in the design.

2. Carousel Planter Retaining Wall

The crescent-shaped retaining wall could act as carousel encircling along the wall. Top of the land within encircling stone walls act as planter even for shrubs, and the flat top of the walls act as delimiters in the overall design. You can use whole stone cubes instead of veneers, but maintaining symmetry is a big challenge in this design. Sandstone, Limestone, and local stones are ideal choices for the construction.
