Elements of the Modern Garden Style
Concrete Steppers
Inexpensive but so highly versatile with this style, precast concrete stepping-stones are the perfect geometric form for surfacing. Round, square or rectangular, small or massive slabs; exposed aggregate or smooth surface, they are your most affordable tool for getting the look just right.

Metal Grids
Originally created as reinforcement mesh for concrete and masonry, welded wire panels of varying density are ideal fencing materials. Use as screen panels for vines, combine with wood planks or create a revolutionary idea with new or recycled segments.

Cobbles
The rounded, natural form of river stone is the perfect contrast for rigid, man-made industrial materials. They offer an excellent surfacing texture for those difficult spaces that can be turned into serious design opportunities. Widely available in a range of colors and sizes.
