Create a Stacked Stone Wall Near Your Pool
When used in decorative areas near your pool—such as privacy fencing, exterior house walls, or feature walls— faux stone panels are extremely versatile. Durable and moisture resistant, they are the ideal product for creating a beautiful stacked stone wall near your pool (though not too close, as they’re moisture resistant, not waterproof).
Whether you have an above or in-ground pool, upgrade the visual appeal by installing a stacked faux stone wall nearby. Doing so helps your pool blend organically into its surroundings while adding visual depth and texture to the space.
Nevada Dry Stack Faux Stone Panels offer a ruggedly beautiful, warm and welcoming style that mimics artisan stonework and comes in multiple earthy color tones.

Outdoor seating and dining areas don’t have to be run-of-the-mill patios and decks. To create an impressive poolside entertaining area, consider using faux stone panels on the pillars or columns of your outdoor pergola, seating area, or deck.

Enhance the ambiance by framing your outdoor dining area with a faux stone accent wall. It defines the space, sets the tone for entertaining, and adds an elegant focal point that feels both rustic and refined.
Benefits of Faux Stone Panels for Poolside Landscape and Design
Whether you are starting from scratch or want to revamp your existing poolside retreat, there are many benefits to using Barron’s faux stone panels for your design project.
Easy to Install
Using faux stone panels to improve your pool landscaping design is easy and inexpensive. You can install them yourself in just a few hours, without the use of mortar or expensive tools. Since there’s no mortar involved, cleanup is a breeze. And by installing them yourself—instead of hiring a stonemason—you’ll save thousands of dollars in labor.
Added bonus—since the panels are incredibly lightweight compared to natural stone, they will not damage your grass as you transport them across your backyard.
Looks Like Real Stone, Without the Expense
Faux stone panels give you the look and feel of natural stone, without the expense and messiness of installation.
Our panels are cast from natural stone, giving them the same texture, and they look like the real thing. Because they’re made from high-density polyurethane, with a closed-cell structure, they can handle what Mother Nature throws at them.
Built to Last
Faux stone panels are moisture, sun, and pest-resistant, and are designed to withstand the elements that different seasons bring. You will never have to worry about fading, cracking, or chipping. These showstopping faux panels are truly built to last.
Wide Variety of Colors and Styles
Barron Designs has a faux stone panel for all of your landscape design ideas! Our wide variety of styles blends beautifully with existing color tones or patterns within your landscaping.
For example, our Colorado Dry Stack Stone is a popular variety that provides an instant burst of sophistication that blends perfectly with any color scheme.

These textured stone looks are perfect for accent walls, column wraps, or even the base of an outdoor kitchen or fire pit area.
