How stone can improve your garden

Despite landscaping and garden renovations often being seen as tiresome jobs, many homeowners across Yorkshire and the UK are choosing to incorporate stone products into the surroundings of their properties.

As English weather makes growing colourful flowers extremely difficult for most of the year, more people are ditching the 'natural look'.

It is now increasingly common for modern gardens to be covered in faux grass and Astroturf. Similarly, the popularity of stone and paving products is on the rise.

There are many reasons to choose decorative stones, gravel, and bespoke products. One of which is their ability to look great throughout the whole year, including the winter months. What most find is their natural garden, no matter how much they spent on it, begins to look tired and wilted during the winter period.

Another benefit of using decorative stone and ornaments in gardens is the low-maintenance costs. A huge turn off of plants and living thing for their garden is the tedious work that comes with it. Pesky weeds constantly grow where you don’t want them and the lawn always needs mowing more often than you have the time to.

Another advantage of using stone for your landscaping plans is the variety and versatility. There are endless ways in which stone can make your garden look great all-year round.

These include the following:

Decorative gravels

These have many benefits. We in fact wrote an entire article on what they can offer. In short, they work and look great in applications such as pathways, pond borders, flower beds and much, much more.

Pebbles and cobbles

These work similarly to gravel but are often used more in displays as they are generally much bigger. You can be extremely creative with how you use pebbles in your garden, and they are extremely long-lasting and durable too.

Paving

Paving stones add a unique amount of beauty and practicality that cannot be replicated with grass or plants. They can be used for paths as a perimeter for your garden or a base for social areas with chairs and BBQs.

Bespoke stone products

Another great use of stone in your garden is bespoke ornaments. Stone can be used to create magnificent ornaments like lions or bird baths.

Stone is extremely versatile and with the right company, can be constructed into high-quality, luxurious products that will make any garden stand out.
