Vista Gold is a warm, earth-toned decorative landscape rock featuring a natural blend of golden tan, light brown, muted rust, and subtle gray accents. Its angular shape and sun-washed coloration create a classic desert aesthetic that feels natural, grounded, and timeless.
This material is especially popular in Southern Nevada landscapes for its ability to complement stucco homes, desert plants, and hardscape features without overpowering the space.
