Natural Stones

In my opinion, natural stones add much to a garden. Colour. Texture. Vertical height. Contrast. Structure. Weed suppression. They can be used for ground cover as gravels or boulders for structure in borders (particularly in Rock gardens which are a fantastic idea for a naturalistic feel with lower maintenance than alternatives). Check out Stone Warehouse to see what is out there for your garden…

I haven’t even touched on the obvious yet. Patios.

The most common option is Sandstone; largely from India. There are also Slates from Wales, The Lake District and also Brazil! Limestones from across The UK, Europe and beyond.

Travertine, Granite and even Marble.

Each stone has different characteristics so may be better suited to some environments and locations than others. Careful consideration is needed of end appearance as well as durability, permeability and of cause cost.

Natural stone has its place in all styles of garden, especially when sealed.
