What to look for: A rock wall provides structure and vertical interest to a landscape and works well in both large and small spaces. The natural gray stone provides a backdrop and is softened by the cascading plants. The use of various greens and purples brings this landscape design together. A large shade tree provides some protection from the afternoon sun.
