Introduction
Designing a Florida garden with natural stone can transform your outdoor space into a breathtaking, low-maintenance, and sustainable landscape. Whether you’re looking to create a tropical oasis, a coastal retreat, or a modern minimalist garden, using native Florida stones such as oolite, keystone, cap rock, coquina, agate limestone, and standard limestone can provide a durable and aesthetically appealing foundation. In this video, I’ll share expert tips on how to incorporate these beautiful stones into your Florida landscape to enhance functionality, drainage, and visual appeal—all while complementing the natural environment.

Why Use Natural Stone in Florida Gardens?
Florida’s unique geology provides homeowners and landscape designers with a rich variety of natural limestones and coral-based stones that are both aesthetically striking and highly practical for warm, humid climates. Some key benefits of using Florida’s native stones include:

✅ Durability: Natural stone holds up against Florida’s extreme heat, humidity, and frequent rain.
✅ Low Maintenance: Unlike wood or artificial materials, stone does not rot, fade, or require constant upkeep.
✅ Sustainability: Local stones reduce the environmental impact of transporting materials from out of state.
✅ Aesthetic Appeal: Each stone type offers unique textures, colors, and patterns that blend seamlessly with Florida’s tropical and coastal landscapes.
