Using old materials with decorative stone and plants 
Normally blends into any design depending on colour and placement

In my opinion keep a defined border between different materials, each element seperate

Oskars · Answer

Blend materials by using a consistent color palette and complementary textures. Combine natural elements like wood and stone with modern materials like metal or concrete. Use one material as the dominant feature and others as accents to maintain balance. Create flow by repeating materials in different areas for cohesion.

Stewart · Answer

You can blend different materials like stone, gravels, timber, slate and even architectural structures. It depends on what you are looking to establish.  Do get back to me and I'd be more than happy to assist.

When mixing design styles, be sure to make the space either predominantly modern or traditional, with accent pieces of the other. Allowing one design to dominate will keep the overall look cohesive, and prevent it from feeling like everything is fighting for attention.

You can blend different materials like stone, wood, bark together to give the ground a more natural rustic look, otherwise it depends on what type of plants you have due to colour etc. A good example would be Golden Flint goes well around Conifer and other green plants, plum slate stands out around low white flowering plants and also around Heather. Think about colour clashes, you wouldn't put Golden Flint or Cotswold stone around wooden decking as they are so similar in colour they would not compliment each other. Have a walk around a few garden centers where you will be able to see different plants and surroundings.
