Outdoor pieces with weight, drainage and weather in mind
Garden stone made for the object it supports and the climate around it.
Outdoor stone is not interior ornament moved outside. Water, soil, metal fittings, wind, sun, salts, freeze-thaw exposure where relevant and safe handling all change the detail.

Parasol bases, planters, bowls and sculpture
The garden collection includes sandstone parasol bases in lotus, palm, fluted and scroll forms; marble and sandstone planters; lotus bowls and urli; pierced cylinders; gate pillars; carved stands and free-standing sculpture. Pieces can be commissioned to suit a specific parasol, planting scheme or landscape language.
A parasol base must coordinate pole diameter, sleeve or fitting, required ballast, footprint, drainage and safe movement. A planter needs drainage, internal dimensions and an understanding of wet soil weight rather than only an attractive exterior profile.
Stone choice and outdoor detailing
Sandstone gives warmth and a natural hand-worked surface; marble can make a luminous or sculptural garden object where the climate and maintenance suit it. Surface finish, exposed top faces, water traps and metal interfaces require deliberate detailing.
Natural weathering should be expected and understood. Stonegraph advises on carving and material; the landscape architect or local professional should approve stability, anchors, wind loading, foundations and climate-specific installation.
- Sculptural stone parasol and umbrella bases
- Planters, urns, lotus bowls and urli
- Garden sculpture and carved focal pieces
- Gate pillars and landscape accents
- Custom sizing around fittings and planting requirements
Supplying one piece or a landscape set
There is no fixed minimum. A single sculptural base and a coordinated set of planters both begin with dimensions, function, preferred stone, finish, exposure and delivery location.
Heavy outdoor pieces are packed around their centre of gravity and vulnerable edges. Overseas supply includes export crating; unloading, foundations and final placement remain with the client's local team.
Practical answers
Questions before a stone brief.
- 01Can Stonegraph make a parasol base to a specific pole size?
- Yes. Provide the pole and fitting dimensions, desired footprint, required ballast, drainage needs and the parasol manufacturer's stability requirements.
- 02Which stone is suitable for outdoor planters?
- The choice depends on climate, water exposure, wall thickness, size and finish. Suitable sandstones and marbles may be considered with correct drainage and installation.
- 03Can garden pieces be made as a matching set?
- Yes. Profiles, motifs and dimensions can be coordinated across planters, bowls, stands, pillars and other landscape elements.
- 04Can a single garden stone piece be exported?
- Yes. Stonegraph has no fixed minimum; freight practicality depends on the piece's size, weight and destination.
Begin with what you have
Send the drawing, dimensions or reference.
Include the setting, preferred stone if known, quantity, delivery location and required date. The workshop can then respond with the missing technical questions.
