Editor's Note

This rugged seating arrangement works perfectly in a sloped backyard or woodland retreat where it can blend with existing topography. Pair these heavy slate slabs with low-voltage copper pathway lighting and soft ornamental grasses to soften the hardscape edges. To balance the visual weight of the boulders, use a mix of fine grey gravel and dark mulch for clear ground-level definition. Periodically clear organic debris from the stone surfaces to prevent moss overgrowth from becoming slippery over time.
