Waterfall from Stones in the Garden:
In our opinion, using large pieces of unshaped stones to create a decorative waterfall adds to its aesthetic appearance and makes the garden more charming.
The most suitable stones for this purpose are masonry stones in combination with large round river stones. When you add in green vegetation, the waterfall is completely created.

Lake in the Garden
It can be built as a single piece for the garden or in a combination with a waterfall and stream. If there is running water all the time, fish can live in the lake. To complete its aesthetic appearance, please, add aquatic plants such as lily, water clover, nimfoides, etc.

River or Stream
It is a great idea to built a river in your garden using stones and capture the charm of the mountain stream. For this purpose, please, use either large round river stones or pieces of unshaped gneiss to lay out the riverbed.
A combination of flowering and evergreen trees and shrubs around is a great way to complete the landscape. It is preferable to plant them around the non – deciduous water plants, in order not to pollute the water.

A Stone Fountain
It is a classical piece of the Bulgarian house and furthermore, completely essential; it is so embedded in the spirit of old Bulgarian way of life, that it can be seen not only in the yards but also along the streets and squares. Yard fountains can be built entirely with gneiss masonry, or lined on the outside with natural stones such as polygonal plates or cut gneiss.

A Stone Hearth
For the Bulgarian people, this is a traditional place where the family gathers at the evening – a place for relaxation and conversations. Such a stone fireplace can be built not only inside the house but also in the yard, where the family spent much of their time when the weather permits it.

Bars and Furniture from Stones
If we want to preserve our outdoors summer bar for a long time, despite all the weather conditions it would be exposed to, the best solution is to build it with stones or use stone finishes. In addition to being sturdy, our kitchens and garden furniture will be beautiful, given the uniqueness and magnificence of the natural stones.

Stone Barbecue
Stone barbecue in the garden has already established itself as a classical piece of the Bulgarian yard. It is usually combined with summer sheds and bars – great places for welcoming guests or spending quiet alone time. Nothing can replace the romance of the burning fireplace outdoors. For the construction of such a barbecue, it is better if you hire a professional with enough experience or at least consult such a person before beginning construction; you should be aware how will the hearth work – is there going to be enough traction in the fire to burn well and not smoke?
8. Бордюри и настилки от камъни
Каменните настилки са чудесно допълнение към ландшафта на градината, когато има изградени и други елементи от камък. За целта може да използвате големи полигонални плочи гнайс, които са неоформени и със своите естествени форми придават неотразимо впечатление. Между плочите в зависимост от предпочитанието може да оставите място за тревни фуги или запълните фугите с циментов разтвор.
9. Подпорни стени от камъни
Подпорните стени, изградени от камъни за зидария са най-често използваните при терасиране на градината. Такива подпорни стени играят и дренажна функция, тъй като не позволяват да се задържа подпочвената вода. Ако зидарията е суха, между камъните може да се посадят и подходящи растения като здравеца, които внасят допълнителна красота на ландшафта.
10. Ограда и стълби от камъни
С камъни за зидане могат да се изграждат както малки декоративни стени, така и огради с височина до 2,50 метра. Здравината им не се нуждае от коментар, затова свидетелстват запазените и до днес зидове на старите български къщи в градове като Копривщица, Жеравна, Ковачевица, Делчево и др.
Това, разбира се, са само една малка част от всички идеи за използване на естествения камък в ландшафта на градината.
Оставаме на вашето въображение и вдъхновение да сътворите своите чудеса от камък в градината!
