Stones are the bones of heaven and earth.  Chinese Philosopher

Circle of Stone is a small company that does great things with natural stone in the landscape, home, and garden. My name is David Reed and for the past twenty years my crew and I have been creating stonescapes in and around the beautiful town of Asheville, North Carolina.

Simply put, "stonescaping" is the introduction of stone into a setting, garden or the landscape. It is combining the practical and the aesthetic qualities of stone to enhance/enrich both the home and garden. I am talking about natural stone here, a timeless material, 'bones of the earth', and the foundation material for many a garden throughout history. The imagination and a budget are the only limitation.

Ideas range from simple to exotic; consider a couple groupings of boulder stones to either side of your entry walkway. This invites a host of ideas for perennial and annual plantings to compliment the stones. How about a dry stacked stonewall retaining the exposed cut in a slope, and/or steps connecting gardens at different levels. More exotic still could be a stone bridge or perhaps an arched stone entryway with an inviting stone bench beside it. Dry stone features set in the landscape are our specialty; we are also experienced in designing and building with interior and exterior mortared stone masonry.

The goal of my company is to maintain the highest level of craftsmanship, as we create functional and beautiful settings of stone for you. Please contact Circle of Stone if we can assist you in creating your unique home and garden...
