What to put under the garden stones?

Garden stones are highly decorative elements that allow you to add different colors and textures to the exterior of a house . They are used by the most avant-garde decorators and are also perfect for giving life to classic environments.

Advantages of garden stones

When we decorate with stone we obtain several benefits.

• The most obvious is that you do not have to take care of plants that, although they are very beautiful, require maintenance for which not everyone has the time or skill.
• In addition, the stone is durable and does not go out of style .
• It is an affordable material, although it exists in different qualities.
• Changing the decoration is easier than if you work with other materials.

However, so that these advantages do not disappear in the medium term, we must take care of what we place under the garden stones. That is why it is important to know the complete installation process and know what materials are used.

Place garden stones with all the guarantees

The first thing you should do when you are going to use decorative stone is to measure the surface on which you are going to work and calculate how much material you are going to need . It is also recommended that you only start doing this when you have a clear idea of ​​what the final project will look like. Otherwise you could find yourself with an excess or lack of materials or with some type of aesthetic problem that is always easier to solve on paper.

Once you have measured the surface and designed the project, here is what you should do to ensure that the soil under the garden stones is in perfect condition.

1. Pull out roots and plants that grow in it . In a later step we will make sure that no new plants take root, but it is crucial to remove the ones that are already there. Be conscientious, as the emergence of green leaves between the garden stones tends to ruin the decorative effort.
2. Make sure the soil has adequate drainage . If this is not the case, it could flood in the event of rain, with the consequent negative effect on your project. The accumulation of water can dirty your decorative stones or, in extreme cases, it could alter the design you have created and that is so difficult to place.
3. Place an anti-germinant mesh . Ideally, it should cover all or most of the surface where you are going to place the stones, so that grasses or wild plants do not grow and ruin your design later. The mesh not only prevents plants from growing, but it prevents stones from mixing with soil. This way they stay clean and in good condition for longer and require less maintenance. It is essential that you choose a safe mesh that affects only the surface where you put it and that decomposes over the long term so that it does not harm the environment. It is true that the latter will affect your decoration, but only, as we say, in the very long term. In any case, although the maintenance of garden stones is minimal, it is good to change them and renew the garden from time to time. If you use recycled plastic dividers, this change will be easier.
