Decorative stone, rock and gravel have multiple uses in and around your home. They can be used for mulch, ground cover, driveways and filler around pools and patios.
This guide will explain the different purposes decorative stone can have in your yard.
Application and Calculating Amount Needed
Begin by measuring the area you intend to cover with decorative stone, then determine the type of rock you’d like to use.
- Smaller stones may shift more in heavy rain.
- All rocks used as mulch tend to retain heat, which can reflect back onto the plants, causing them to dry out.
- The region you live in may determine the kinds of stone available for purchase in your area.
Types of Decorative Stone
Choose from brick chips, crushed gravel, lava rock, river rock and marble to create pathways, mulch for garden beds, driveways and more.
