Landscapes That Work With the Texas Climate
North Texas summers are brutal on traditional lawns. Boulderstone Landscape & Masonry designs outdoor spaces that are as beautiful as they are practical — using native plants, decorative stone, and smart water management to create yards that look great year-round without constant maintenance. Whether you want a full zeroscaping transformation, a winding gravel path through your garden, or dramatic boulder placements surrounded by ornamental grasses, we bring the vision and the craftsmanship.

Beautiful yards that barely need water
Zeroscaping & Xeriscaping
Zeroscaping replaces water-hungry turf with drought-tolerant plants, decorative gravel, and strategic hardscape — dramatically reducing irrigation needs while keeping your yard looking polished year-round.
What's Included
- Full turf removal and soil amendment
- Weed-barrier fabric installation
- Decomposed granite and river rock ground cover
- Native and adaptive plant selection for DFW climate
- Drip irrigation integration for planted areas
- Mulch zones for moisture retention around plants
Why DFW Homeowners Are Choosing Zeroscaping
With water restrictions tightening across the metroplex and summer temperatures regularly topping 100°F, traditional turf lawns are becoming harder to justify. Zeroscaping isn't about having a bare, rocky yard — it's about designing a landscape that looks intentional, feels lush, and barely needs a hose.

Gravel Path Design for DFW Yards
The right gravel path transforms how you move through and experience your outdoor space. We match gravel type, edging material, and path width to your yard's style — whether that's a rustic decomposed granite trail through a native garden or a crisp crushed limestone walkway alongside a formal flower bed.
Compacts firm underfoot, earthy tan color, blends naturally with Texas landscapes. Most popular for DFW yards.
Smooth, rounded stones in warm tan and gray tones. Comfortable to walk on, excellent drainage, great for casual garden paths.
Angular white-gray stone that packs tightly. Bright, clean look — ideal for formal or contemporary landscapes.
Larger smooth stones in mixed earth tones. Used for accent paths, dry creek bed transitions, and drainage channels.
Stone-Bordered Flower Beds That Last
A flower bed is only as good as its border. Without proper edging, mulch migrates, soil erodes, and the whole bed loses definition over time. We build stone borders that stay put — using natural fieldstone, chopped limestone, or decorative boulders to create a permanent frame for your plantings.
Natural Fieldstone
Irregular flat stones stacked 2–3 courses high. Rustic, organic look that suits cottage and naturalistic gardens.
Chopped Limestone
Cut limestone blocks with clean faces and natural texture. Versatile — works in traditional, contemporary, and ranch-style landscapes.
Decorative Boulders
Large rounded or angular stones used as bold border anchors. Creates a dramatic, low-maintenance edge with visual weight.
Dry-Stack Stone Wall
Mortarless stacked stone raised beds, 12–24 inches tall. Adds height, improves drainage, and creates a formal garden structure.

Boulders & Stone: Anchoring the Landscape
Nothing establishes a landscape's character faster than a well-placed boulder. Large stones create instant focal points, define spaces, and give a yard a sense of permanence that plants alone can't achieve. We source Texas-quarried limestone, sandstone, and granite boulders and place them with intention — surrounded by complementary plantings that soften the stone and tie the composition together.
Boulder Placement Principles
Best Plants to Pair with Boulders
Feathery pink plumes in fall — stunning against limestone
Bold architectural form that echoes the scale of large boulders
Red blooms spring through fall, low water, fills gaps between stones
Spreads into rock crevices, drought-tolerant, year-round texture
White daisy-like blooms nearly year-round, thrives in rocky soil
Blue-green summer color turns copper-red in fall, native to Texas
Decorative Stone That Ties It All Together
Beyond boulders and borders, decorative stone plays a supporting role throughout a well-designed landscape — as mulch alternatives in planting beds, as ground cover in dry creek beds, as accent material around trees, and as the surface of low-traffic areas where grass won't grow. We help you choose the right stone for every application.
How We Work
From first conversation to finished yard — a clear, collaborative process.
Site Consultation
We walk your property, assess soil, drainage, sun exposure, and existing plants, then listen to your goals and budget.
Design & Material Selection
We develop a layout plan and help you choose gravel types, stone materials, plants, and boulder placements that fit your style.
Site Preparation
Existing turf or plants are removed, soil is amended, drainage is addressed, and weed barriers are installed where needed.
Hardscape Installation
Stone borders, gravel paths, boulder placements, and any retaining or raised bed walls are built first.
Planting & Mulching
Plants are installed according to the design plan, mulch is applied, and drip irrigation is connected where specified.
Final Walkthrough
We walk the completed project with you, explain care requirements for new plantings, and confirm everything meets your expectations.
What DFW Homeowners Say
Real results from real landscaping projects across the metroplex.
"They transformed our front yard from a dead, brown lawn into a gorgeous xeriscape with boulders and native plants. We haven't watered it once since install and it looks better than our old lawn ever did."
"The gravel path and stone-bordered flower beds they installed look like something out of a magazine. The crew was professional, cleaned up completely, and finished ahead of schedule."
"Boulderstone did our entire backyard — zeroscaping, a dry creek bed, and boulder groupings with ornamental grasses. It's our favorite part of the house now."
