Benefits
Provides a high end aesthetic appeal that is hard to match using other landscape designs and strategies
Long lasting, permanent displays that will not fade or erode during the life span of the garden or plant arrangement
Unlike an organic mulch, aggregate will not decompose leading to less seasonal upkeep and prevent yearly material additions
Very little weeding and garden maintenance if a filter cloth is installed beneath the soil
Challenges
Increased heat transfer to the soil may lead to plants needing to be watered more frequently when compared to an organic mulch
Application must be done correctly, with filter cloth beneath the soil to prevent weed growth and a solid foundation to ensure that the stone does not sink into the ground
This process is not typically easy to reverse, and in most cases will require that a replacement project start from the ground up, removing all previously laid stone and bringing in fresh soil
We advise all of out clients who are looking to upgrade their garden or landscape with aggregate to do the research before starting, or enlist the help of a reputable landscape company with the knowledge and experience to provide you with the type of quality you deserve.
