HDRP’s Layered Lit system allows multiple textures to be placed on a single plane without extra gameobjects or rendering.

Blank Plane

I created a new material for to demonstrate this function.

Next, I set it to LayeredLit in the Shader window

I added my two textures (Stone and Dirt)

Then I added a layer mask. In this case, I reused a height map as I wanted the stones to jut out from the dirt, like an old cobblestone path.

LayeredLit on the Rightside, Just the Stone on left.
