There are multiple ways to use decorative stones. In gardening, they are used as a coverage for the soil, which not only provides an attractive appearance, but also helps maintain soil moisture. However, they can also be incorporated into the creation of trails, gardens edges, or even in water facilities, such as sources, because they add a touch of elegance and serenity to the landscape.

To achieve a professional and long-lasting finish with decorative stone in the garden, it is not enough to just place the stones: it is essential to have the right accessories to ensure stability, cleanliness, and aesthetics.
For example, you can install aweed control mesh to prevent weeds from growing between the stones. On top of the mesh, you can use a system ofgeocells or soil stabilization, which helps keep the stone in place, prevent shifting, and distribute loads better. This is especially useful on sloped areas or places with frequent foot traffic.
To delimit and contain the decorative stone, it is essential to install garden edging or separators. Edging prevents the gravel from “spilling out” and visually defines green spaces and paths.
