1. Asian rock garden
An Asian-inspired stone bed can be easily created with appropriate plants, small, light pebbles and matching figures or other accessories.
2. Natural stone path
The classic among the stone ideas in the garden is such a natural path that winds across the lawn with slabs that are as natural as possible.
3. Sitting area with gravel
Do you want to have another seating area in your garden in addition to the classic terrace, but don't want to spend a lot of time paving it? Then gravel is the perfect solution!
4. Modern path with stone slabs
Stone is not only used in natural gardens but also in modern and minimalist outdoor areas. Such a precisely laid out path with exactly the same-sized slabs underlines the puristic, reduced, straight-lined look.
5. Path with slabs and gravel
Here we see a successful mix of stone slabs and gravel, which brings a special texture and dynamics to the garden.
6. Cool fireplace
Whether gravel, chippings or rubble: Such stones are ideal for modern fireplaces because they not only look great but are also extremely safe.
7. Around the water basin
Just like around fire, stone can also be used in combination with water.
8. Side accents
A popular way to incorporate pebbles into outdoor spaces is to decorate patio edges. This breaks up the overall look and adds an interesting element.
9. Enclosure of pond and watercourse
The transition from the garden pond or watercourse to the lawn or flower beds is often bordered with pebbles or larger stones to create a harmonious, orderly image.
10. Gravel garden
Pure gravel gardens are becoming increasingly popular because they are easy to maintain and can be easily implemented even in difficult soil conditions.

11. Gravel path
A real classic in the garden is the gravel path, which is both visually and functionally convincing and also represents a cost-effective alternative to much more expensive options.
12. Between lawn and terrace
Here, the transition from the terrace to the lawn was set off with pebbles.
13. A path made of stone and old wood
Old railway planks and pebbles create an appealing, sustainable, and affordable garden path with a unique charm.
14. Vertical rock garden on the terrace
Finally, we have an idea for everyone without a real garden. With vertical green walls, you can turn even small city balconies and terraces into a feel-good oasis. Here we see the rock garden version with glass boxes, pebbles and succulents.
