Decorative aggregates can improve drainage
You may need to replace paving stones and slabs in your garden that are causing drainage problems. These decorative aggregates permit water to flow through the ground and not settle in puddle-forming areas. It is easier to avoid flooding in areas that are regularly affected by regular flooding with decorative aggregates.
Enhance pond areas using decorative aggregates
To give your pond a natural river feel, add pebbles, slate or stones to it. It is an excellent way to encourage wildlife and suppress weeds around pond areas. Variegate the size of the rocks around your pond. This will create shade and provide a better habitat for wildlife like frogs, butterflies and other insects. You should be cautious with any aggregates that you place around your pond. Some stones can affect the pH of the water. Before you place stones around your pond’s water, make sure they are thoroughly washed.
Enhance old driveways using decorative aggregates
Aggregates are a good choice for a more industrial-looking driveway. If you have a large driveway, gravel driveways are a good choice. They can provide drainage and character, as well as being economical. Stones or angular chipspings are strong underfoot and can support the vehicle’s weight. They offer a beautiful solution for homeowners and business owners.
Use decorative aggregates to control weeds
Are you fed up with seeing weeds grow from nothing? A landscaping membrane with gravel underneath and mulch is a great way to control weedy plants. To give your plants more space, cut holes in the membrane and surround them with decorative aggregates.
