Are you tired of the same old thing? Are you looking for a fresh outdoor patio idea? Do you want to learn how to build custom faux ruins for your backyard? Cornerstone Rocks’ Garden Ruins are sure to inspire your outdoor living space. We designed our Garden Ruins line to create patio areas not connected to a structure. Your personally configured ruins will add unique designer flair to your cottage garden, backyard living space, or back 40 party pad. They are perfect for naturalized and low-maintenance landscapes. They would also make an excellent centerpiece for an English garden. You can use ruins alone and pair them with flagstones, cobblestones, or even turf to create a gathering spot for relaxing or entertaining. To make a grand statement, combine ruins kits from the line. You can easily configure the pieces to fit 200-900 square feet backyard patios. The Garden Ruins system can be flipped, turned, and combined in near-infinite ways to create your dream backyard vision. Since the ruins kits have open-ended terminations, you can place them as needed to create a perfectly sized outdoor living area for your needs. You can easily integrate our Masterson Grills with your ruins for the ultimate outdoor experience.

Designed to make kits easily

These blocks were specially designed to make hardscape features. These are not repurposed retaining wall blocks. This produces easy-to-make kits that save time. The wedge shapes help increase the bonding ability for a solid product built to last.

Random stone look

Our stones are produced with through-body colored concrete. Then they are tumbled to give them a naturally aged look. The three sizes of block can create seven different face sizes creating the randomly laid appearance of natural stones.

No mortar needed

There is no mess and mixing of mortar. Our kits are simply glued together. You squeeze special adhesive from a caulk gun. This makes construction and cleanup a breeze.

You have endless creative options and ideas when creating your stone Garden Ruins and Garden Follies patio kit
