FAQs

Decorative stones are not always harmful to plants, but they can have an impact on plant growth and health if used incorrectly. Here are some things to think about when using them:

  • Drainage: Decorative stones can aid in drainage by allowing excess water to flow freely through the soil. However, if the stones are too large or too many, they might prevent water from reaching plant roots, resulting in soil waterlogging.
  • Temperature: In hotter climates, ornamental stones may absorb and radiate heat, which can harm plants. They may also assist to make soil warmer in colder climates, which is beneficial to some plants.
  • Maintenance: Decorative stones may acquire dirt and debris over time, which can harbour diseases and pests. They may also need to be removed and replaced on a regular basis to minimise soil compaction.
  • Decorative stones do not provide nutrients to plants and, in fact, if they are too densely packed, might make it more difficult for nutrients to reach the roots.

Decorative stones are natural materials so slight variations in colour, tone or shape are normal and should be expected! Also remember that different types of light, or whether the stones are wet or dry will affect how they look both on a screen and in your garden.

Yes, preparation is key for good and long-lasting results when laying decorative stones. It’s important to clear any weeds, grass or vegetation, level the ground and install a weed-control groundcover membrane before spreading the stones evenly.

Yes, when laid with a proper groundcover membrane and at suitable depth, decorative stones can reduce weed growth and improve drainage in garden beds or borders.
