Decorative Gravels
Decorative gravels can provide a stable looking, beautiful finish to a landscape bed. Stone resists erosion better than soil and mulch, so it may be a better choice in places that slope or receive a lot of moving groundwater. Properly installed on top of landscape fabric, decorative gravels are low maintenance in terms of weed pressure. You may consider containing your gravel area with permanent plastic or steel edging, especially if the area is adjacent to turf grass. The other important thing these gravels can do is create a "stream bed" feature to accept stormwater from the gutters and redirect it away from the home's foundation. Select the color of your gravel to complement the material of your home and fencing. For example, these earth tone gravels would go well with brick or a natural wood colored fence:
ALABAMA SUNSET
