A Finish That Stays Looking Great
Unlike organic mulch and bark that break down and fade with the seasons, decorative stone holds its shape, colour and structure year after year. It adds visual weight to sloped areas, resists weed growth when laid over matting, and handles heavy foot traffic without shifting. For high-impact, low-effort results across any Bathurst garden or courtyard, decorative stone from Hothams is the intelligent long-term choice.
- Won't fade, break down or shift
- Ideal for slopes, paths and courtyards
- Suppresses weeds with minimal ongoing maintenance
FAQs
What is the difference between decorative stone and regular gravel?
Decorative stone is chosen primarily for its appearance, it offers consistent colour, shape and texture, making it ideal for garden beds, feature areas and paths where visual impact matters. Regular gravel, such as road base or drainage rock, is selected for function over form. Decorative stone can still assist with drainage and weed suppression, but the key difference lies in its aesthetic appeal and finer finish.
Will decorative stone help suppress weeds in my garden beds?
Yes, decorative stone is an effective weed suppressant when installed correctly. For best results, lay a quality weed mat or geotextile fabric beneath the stone first. This blocks sunlight from reaching weed seeds while still allowing rainwater to drain freely through. The weight of the stone adds an additional barrier against growth from below. It’s a low-maintenance, long-lasting alternative to bark or mulch for garden borders and beds.
Is decorative stone suitable for sloped gardens or drainage areas?
Decorative stone can work well on slopes and in drainage areas, provided the right type is selected and the base is properly prepared. Angular stone locks together on inclines and resists movement better than smooth, rounded pebbles. For drainage applications such as dry creek beds or French drains, coarser stone allows water to flow freely. Call our Bathurst team to discuss the best option for your site.
