When it comes to landscaping, a number of different materials can and should be used. Wood decking looks great, and can last a long time with the right care. Poured concrete can be exceptionally durable. Interlocking pavers create visual appeal and provide a hard surface for walking, standing or for creating seating areas. However, stone landscaping supplies also play important roles here.
Erosion Control: In any landscaping project, erosion is going to be a problem. Landscaping stone for Toronto area homeowners provides a long-lasting, durable solution to the problem of erosion. While wood chips and mulch can help prevent erosion, both are lightweight and will wash away in heavy rain. Toronto stone landscaping options will stay in place even in heavy rains.
Weed Control: Weed control is another reason to use landscaping stone, such as river rock or pea gravel. It’s attractive, durable, and will prevent weeds just as well as most types of mulch, and it won’t decay over time.
Walkways and Paths: Creating walkways and paths is simple with the right stone for landscaping in Toronto. River stones offer an excellent foundation in these instances, but other options can be used as well, including pea gravel for a finer texture.
Concrete Support: Whether you’re having a patio poured, a driveway created or are investing in concreate walkways, you’ll need the right landscaping stone underneath. 3/4-inch clear limestone, limestone screenings and high-performance bedding are just a few of the options offered at Essential Garden Supplies.
