Why Armour Stone?
- Built to Last
Armor Stone is naturally quarried, dense, and resistant to erosion, cracking, and the freeze-thaw cycles. It weathers beautifully yet holds its form and strength over decades. - Low Maintenance
Unlike timbers that rot or manufactured blocks that fade, Armour Stone won’t warp, rot, or require sealing. Once installed properly, it demands very little upkeep. - Striking Aesthetic & Versatility
Each stone is unique—variations in texture, size, shape, and hue give you creative freedom. Stones can be used for retaining walls, garden accents, steps, water features, pillars or gateways, borders, and more. - Great Investment
Adds curb appeal, property value, and functional stability. Armour Stone doesn’t just look good—it protects your soil, prevents erosion, and improves drainage. For steep slopes or problematic water flow, it makes a structural difference. - Eco-Friendly & Local Options
Because it’s a natural stone, and often locally sourced, Armour Stone can help reduce the carbon footprint of your landscaping. These stones are mined with care and last long, so you’re investing in a material that doesn’t need frequent replacement.
Perfect Uses for Armour Stone
- Retaining Walls
For steep yard sections, terraces, or slopes that need structural support. Armour Stone can hold back soil, control erosion, and help manage water runoff. - Garden Borders & Accent Features
Define flower beds, patios, pathways and do it with elegance. One well-placed Armour Stone becomes a focal point. - Steps & Pathways
Create natural stone steps or use large stones for stepping-paths. The variation in shape gives character, while the weight ensures stability under foot traffic. - Gateways, Entrance Pillars & Pillar Features
Make an impressive first impression. Armor Stone pillars or gateways convey strength and style. - Water Features & Shoreline Uses
Natural stone blends seamlessly with water—whether edging a pond, lining a streambed, or building fountains. Also ideal for stream bank stabilization and shoreline protection.
What to Keep in Mind
- Because Armour Stones are large and heavy, professional installation is strongly recommended. You’ll need proper equipment to place them safely and to ensure the base, backfill, and drainage are done correctly.
- Design choices (stone size, shape, colour) will affect cost and visual style. Irregular natural stones have more rustic appeal; more uniform ones tend to feel formal or modern.
- Always consider local availability and quarry options; locally sourced stones reduce costs and delivery time.
