The look of your flower gardens and walkways may be changed, and decorative stones and landscape pebbles are great accents to a garden. They also have functional uses. A porous substitute for hard pavement areas, where the movement of water is a concern, are regions with pebbles. With an explanation of the advantages that each kind of landscaping stone provides, our team of landscaping specialists has put together this comprehensive customer guide. We walk you through the process of selecting the ideal Garden decorative pebble stones for the task, incorporating them into the landscape design, and making sure they look great all year round.
The transition of landscaping stones from conventional lawns
The aesthetically pleasing, expansive lawn is quickly losing popularity among New Zealand homeowners, architects, and landscape designers. Time-pressed consumers are selecting low-maintenance landscaping options like pea gravel, stone, pebbles, and landscape rocks over typical lawns, which need weekly upkeep and recurring costs. In addition to their apparent practical benefits, landscaping stones are excellent for drought-prone locations since they conserve water, use fewer chemicals, and are an environmentally friendly choice—something we should all be mindful of. Regardless of your garden’s style, Kiwi gardeners are drawn to Central Landscape Supplies’ extensive selection of ornamental stones and gardening pebbles because they provide an inexhaustible source of creative landscape possibilities.
The Allure of Ornamental Landscape Stones
The hard landscaping structure that is necessary to tie your garden design theme together cohesively is provided by decorative stones, landscape rocks, and boulders. Every garden needs structure. Stones and pebbles will repay you for many years with their beauty, practicality, and environmental benefits after your first investment with minimal care and upkeep.
Flexibility in Design
Think about your home’s style: Prioritize your home’s style while selecting garden and landscape stones. Large, highly textured boulders and chipped rock combined in modern landscaping will accentuate a contemporary home. Cobblestones mixed with smaller stream pebbles would create a more period-appropriate aspect for a property. A house surrounded by native bush with a built-in water feature would look great with crushed shells adding texture and color, while real river stones and pebbles with their smooth, round, blue-green color would look great in a house placed amid the bush.
Take into account how the area is intended to be used
If you intend to go barefoot on some places, go for smooth, rounded pebble stone; heavy-duty driveways and walks can be better used for crushed stone.
Impressive boulders or river rock mixed with different-sized landscaping stones could accentuate points of interest in the landscape. Using river pebbles, pea gravel, Garden decorative pebble stones, stone chips, or limestone chips as a mulch around plants can be beneficial for flower beds and vegetable gardens.
