Natural stone brings a character to a landscape that manufactured materials simply can’t replicate. In the Ozarks, it fits the surroundings naturally. Flagstone, fieldstone steppers, limestone blocks, boggy brown stone, and decorative boulders work for garden paths, retaining areas, water features, fire pit surrounds, and natural-looking landscape accents. Nixa Hardware & Seed Co. carries natural stone and boulders sold by the pound so you can get exactly what the project calls for without overbuying.
