The use of stone and rocks in the design of gardens and parks has always been highly praised. Common in modern horticulture and landscaping, they are regarded as a true point of interest in outdoor spaces.

In practice, randomly placed boulders are particularly popular. Extremely large rocks in gardens or courtyards look very modern and natural.

Besides natural plants and many ponds, this beautiful green park has a separate area for guests to relax and unwind, with large stones in lieu of benches or gazebos.

They fill the role of benches, while at the same time lending the open spaces a decorative appearance. Medium-sized stones scattered around a cordoned off area seem to be floating on a sea of gray.

Stones were also used in the design of Zhuhai’s Xingyuan Park. The interplay of the stones and the water has a very calming effect. Small, medium and large stones in the middle of streams bordered by gravel attract people’s attention.

Qinhuangdao’s Botanical Gardens has a green land where rocks “grow” and blend in with the other natural landscapes.

In reality, the rocks are much larger than they appear, it’s just a part of them is buried. In the daytime and after sunset they create a wondrous effect.

The garden at the Tucson Convention Center in Arizona, United States features fountains that runs along the entire outdoor space. They are filled with irregular boulders, which makes for a very special design. Here you can relax you mind and body in the sweltering summer months or sit on the rocks and enjoy the sun.

The rock garden at the Canadian embassy in Tokyo is also very unique. Its design uses many different types of rocks, whose combination is reminiscent of gardens popular in Japan.
