Stone surfacing on the ground can provide all kinds of interesting textural and tactile experiences. Stone can be finished in a wide variety of ways, and different types of stone can be used to speak to local geology. It can even be incorporated into a science or math lesson in creative ways. In addition to being used as a ground surface, larger blocks of stone can be used to form stairs or bench seating.
