It’s versatile, ranging in size from small rock paths to large boulder walls, and comes in a wide range of colors. And stone also complements other materials such as wood, metal, and brick. [Esposito Masonry](https://www.disabatinoinc.com/services/esposito-artisan-masonry/) collaborates with [DiSabatino Landscaping](https://www.disabatinoinc.com/services/luxury-landscape-hardscaping/) to offer artisan [masonry](https://www.disabatinoinc.com/services/esposito-artisan-masonry/) work throughout the tri-state area. They offer numerous ways to utilize natural stone in your next design and build project: #### **Stone Patios and Outdoor Spaces** Embrace the natural beauty and durability of stone with a patio or walkway. It’s low maintenance and lasts for generations. In this area, bluestone and travertine are some of the most popular options with homeowners. The stone can be polished or left with natural texture depending on your preference. It’s the perfect border for a pool deck as well. #### **Steps and Walkways** From large, natural boulders to square cut slabs, natural stone is an excellent choice for steps and pathways. It can be used with smaller river rock or accentuated with brick trim to make a stylish impact on your backyard. Expert stonemasons can explain what works best with the design and layout of your home. ![Outdoor hardscape photo showing natural stone steps and walkway integrated into a landscaped backyard setting, by DiSabatino Inc. in Delaware County, PA.](https://disabatinoinc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Heflin-9-1920x1280.jpg?width=1200&height=800&name=Heflin-9-1920x1280.jpg) #### **Fireplaces and Fire Pits** The best [fireplaces and fire pits](https://www.disabatinoinc.com/services/luxury-landscape-hardscaping/outdoor-living/outdoor-fireplaces-fire-pits/) are made from stone. They’re natural conductors for heat, helping retain the warmth of a fire. Consider a grand stone fireplace with a cap to serve as a focal point for your backyard space. You can run a gas line or use a wood-burning fire pit anywhere in your yard, as part of a patio or its own separate space. ![Natural stone fireplace or fire pit illustrating a backyard gathering space enhanced with stone features, by DiSabatino Inc. in Delaware County, PA.](https://disabatinoinc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/iStock_26997684_SMALL-300x200-1.jpg?width=228&height=152&name=iStock_26997684_SMALL-300x200-1.jpg) #### **Outdoor Kitchens and Pizza Ovens** Entertain guests at your home without sacrificing indoor comforts and amenities. You don’t need a large kitchen to accommodate a full menu. [DiSabatino Design Build](https://www.disabatinoinc.com/services/disabatino-design-build/) offers a wealth of options, including built-in appliances, ceiling fans, and outdoor [pavilions](https://www.disabatinoinc.com/services/disabatino-design-build/pavilions-and-pool-houses/). Accent your kitchen with natural stone floors, ambient lighting, or weather-sensitive [pergolas](https://www.disabatinoinc.com/services/disabatino-design-build/pergolas/). #### **Retaining Walls and Stone Courtyards** If you need help with the elevation of your yard, a [stone retaining wall](https://www.disabatinoinc.com/services/luxury-landscape-hardscaping/handcrafted-hardscaping/) can help with water runoff and keep soil levels where they need to be. They’re a beautiful solution to regrading the slope of your home. Stone courtyard walls increase privacy, block out noise, and enhance the beauty of your home. They’re elegant and timeless, lasting for multiple decades.  Explore Esposito Masonry and DiSabatino Landscaping’s [portfolio of hardscaping projects](https://www.disabatinoinc.com/services/esposito-artisan-masonry/) to learn more about what you can realize with your home.
