What’s the difference between decorative stone and regular gravel?
Decorative stone is selected for appearance, while regular gravel is chosen for function. Decorative stone typically features consistent colour, texture and shape, making it ideal for garden beds, paths and landscaping features. It’s often smoother, more polished or coloured compared to basic gravel. Regular gravel, like road base or drainage rock, is more practical — used for compaction, driveways or construction. Decorative stone can still be functional, but it’s generally more expensive and chosen when visual impact matters.
Will decorative stone help with weed control?
Yes, decorative stone can help suppress weeds when installed correctly. It works best when laid over a weed mat or geotextile fabric, which blocks sunlight while allowing water to drain through. The weight of the stone adds an extra barrier, discouraging weed growth from below. While it’s not a complete substitute for weed control methods like pre-emergent sprays or regular maintenance, it’s a low-maintenance option that keeps garden beds looking neat and tidy for the long term.
Is it suitable for sloped areas or drainage?
Decorative stone can be used on sloped areas and for drainage, but only with the right preparation. On slopes, opt for angular stone that locks together to prevent slipping. Round, smooth stones can shift under rain or foot traffic. For drainage, decorative stone works well in areas like French drains or dry creek beds, as long as water can flow freely through it. Ensure you prepare the base correctly to avoid erosion or pooling over time.
