Decorative stone does more than look pretty. The right choice depends on function, style, and budget.
1. For driveways → Crushed limestone or slate chips
- Durable, compacts well, handles vehicle traffic.
2. For walkways & patios → Pea gravel or river rock
- Smooth texture, easy to walk on, natural look.
3. For gardens → River rock or polished stones
- Helps soil retain moisture, prevents weeds, looks great around plants.
4. For modern style → Slate gray chips or black granite
- Sleek, contemporary appearance for patios and edging.
5. For rustic look → Fieldstone or crushed sandstone
- Warmer tones, blends naturally into landscapes.
👉 Pro tip: Always check stone size. Smaller stones (⅜”–½”) are best for walking paths; larger stones (1”+) are better for driveways.
