Stones in the garden have a wide range of applications – from garden paths, driveways, and patios to pond edging and decoration. The possibilities are virtually endless. Here is an overview of different types.
Stones in the garden – granite chips
Granite that is exposed to weather fragments over time into small pieces. The result is small reddish stones whose color becomes clearer over time. This stone is perfect as flooring for a garden or patio. It is an affordable alternative, although the price can vary. The disadvantage of stones in the garden is that small pieces can stick to shoes and then scratch the floor inside the house. This is why you should change your shoes indoors. If you want to create a garden path, you should divide the granite into layers. It is better to compact the mass with a suitable binder; ask for advice when buying granite chips. Regular weeding is necessary.
Stones in the garden – river stones
River stones are small, oval stones available in different colors and shapes. They are usually orange, brown, gray, or a mixture of colors. Depending on the source, the price can vary greatly, but they are generally an affordable option. Find out in advance about the price and the formula for calculating the required amount; dealers are usually familiar with this and can be very helpful. These stones work well as decoration, as a garden divider, or as edging.
