When it comes to landscaping, chances are good you can think of a wide range of supplies needed to make your project come off without a hitch. Pavers, timbers, decking, planters, mulch – these are just a few of the many supplies you’ll need. However, stones for landscaping serve essential purposes, and can be used to prevent erosion, protect against weed growth, and to add visual appeal to any landscaping project.
Stones in landscaping offer protection, beautification and more. For instance, a layer of 1.5-inch river stone offers striking good looks, but it can also be an essential solution for preventing weed growth around plants and in flowerbeds. It can take the place of mulch in many instances, preventing the loss of moisture from underlying soil.
In terms of weed control, stones for landscaping needs can offer a host of advantages over other solutions. Unlike woodchips and pine straw, stones will not float away in heavy rains, providing you with a longer lasting solution to your needs.
Larger 1 to 3-inch river stone can be used for walkways and paths, for seating areas and in many other situations. At Essential Garden Supplies, we can also offer other stones for landscaping needs, ranging from crusher run to cement sand, brick sand and a great deal more. Pea gravel, limestone screenings and high-performance bedding (HPB) are also available.
