Here we will take a look at the unique Garden and Natural Stone memorials for both cemeteries and private gardens or front lawns. Garden Stone can come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes simply based on the boulder we can source. In this category, we have worked with granite, sandstone, marble, flagstone, and many other materials.
Whether for cremation memorial, front lawn address numbers, or used for ornamental memorial park design; garden and natural stone memorials are some of the most unique memorials.
In this article, we are going to cover:
Garden and Natural Stones complement any homes front lawn with a proud display of your address numbers. Or, almost anything else you would like to engrave.
We have engraved such a wide variety of stones in our long history here in Santa Barbara that we are pleased to help you create the perfect stone.
Selecting the right color takes time. All of the colors of granite are mined and sourced from all over the world. Thus, each stone is ever so slightly different.
The sample photos are a very good representation of the granite we source daily, but in some cases, you may see some variation in the color across the stone especially the Rainbow or Bahama Blue Granite. Where some patterns are more uniform like the Blue Pearl or Gray Granite.
For natural boulders, each boulder is uniquely different and will be one complete stone. Whereas granite is mined and cut from larger blocks to get your desired shape.
All colors considered, it’s best to reach out and speak with one of our expert memorial designers for more details of weekly stock and how long custom pieces will take to get here.
