Commercial landscaping creates an environment that works for your business, not against it. With the right use of stone, you can make your business’s exterior as attractive as the products and services you offer within. At the Rock Garden in Fort Collins, we’re always ready to discuss creative ways to make your business stand out.
Nothing makes a stronger first impression than a few large, carefully placed landscape boulders at the entrance of your commercial property. These massive stones aren’t just a show of strength—they're built to last, low-maintenance, and add a raw, natural charm that can’t be replicated with any other material. Position them alongside vibrant plants, company signage, or even a sleek water feature to create a welcoming, cohesive look that draws people in.
Locally sourced landscape boulders set the tone for your space—imposing yet inviting, and ready to stand the test of time and weather.
If you’re looking to add curb appeal to your building, stone veneer transforms the most basic exterior into something visually striking and full of character. For most, the appeal of stone veneer is that it gives a contemporary yet timeless look. But stone veneer is also extremely low-maintenance, so you can enjoy the beauty without worrying about upkeep. Plus, with some strategically placed lighting, you can make your exterior pop even more.
Flagstone pathways are a charming, durable feature that guests and employees alike will appreciate. The irregular shapes and earthy tones give a natural, rustic look, while flagstone’s slip-resistant surface is a bit safer than smooth concrete.
Customize the path layout to guide visitors through gardens or connect key areas on your property. For added flair, border the path with lush plants or subtle lighting to create a walkway that’s as inviting as it is safe and practical.
A stone retaining wall is a practical way to add form and structure to any commercial property. Whether you go for a classic fieldstone stack or sturdy block retaining walls, these barriers help keep your soil in place and keep your plants healthy. Stone retaining walls are a well-established way to break up your landscape and avoid mundane stretches of grass, another hedge row, or endless flower beds.
There’s something magically tranquil about the gentle sound of water trickling over rocks, and a stone water feature can bring that serenity straight to your commercial property. Bubbling fountains, a meandering stream, or a shimmering waterfall can all add a soothing vibe that’s infectious among staff and visitors. Not only do they create a calming atmosphere, but they also serve as striking focal points in your landscaping. Consider including lush greenery or dramatic lighting to amplify the effect. If done well, a stone water feature will benefit customers and employees alike.
Nothing says “gather here” quite like a stone fire feature. It doesn’t matter if it’s a simple cozy fire pit or a grand outdoor fireplace, these additions bring instant warmth and ambiance to any commercial space. Perfect for patios, lounge areas, or even outdoor dining spots, they turn chilly evenings into opportunities for connection and conversation.
They’re a year-round crowd-pleaser—ideal for roasting marshmallows in the summer, sipping hot cocoa in the winter, or enjoying coffee in a cozy fall lunch break. Surround your fire feature with comfortable seating and a flagstone patio to complete the space.
Stone furniture is stylish enough to impress, yet tough enough to withstand the elements. Think sturdy stone benches and tables that won’t fade, crack, or wobble no matter the weather. These timeless pieces add a touch of elegance while requiring almost zero upkeep. Pair a stone bench with a flagstone pathway or set a stone table near a water feature to create a cohesive and inviting space. Whether it’s a quiet corner for reflection or a communal spot for mingling, stone furniture offers both practicality and aesthetic charm in one solid package. At the Rock Garden, you’re sure to find a beautifully-designed piece of stone furniture to suit the aesthetics of your commercial space.
