Using Decorative Stones in a Low Maintenance Garden

Posted by Lisa Pieraccini on 21st Aug 2024

As turf growers, there's no denying how much we love a good lawn! Having said that, we understand that maintaining grass isn’t the best option for everyone. Many of our customers are increasingly seeking low-maintenance alternatives for their gardens. For those looking to reduce garden upkeep yet still have a nice space to enjoy, we highly recommend exploring options like slabs, natural stone paving, or decorative aggregates.

Why Choose Decorative Aggregates?

Decorative stones are a fantastic way to introduce colour and style to your garden or driveway with minimal maintenance. At Peacock Turfscape, we offer a wide range of decorative aggregates quarried throughout the UK. Our collection includes 18 distinct types of stones, ensuring there’s something for everyone’s taste and style.

These stones are not just limited to driveways; they can be used creatively throughout your garden to create unique features such as:

  • Garden Paths: Define walkways with striking contrasts of stone colours.
  • Flower Beds: Replace traditional mulch with decorative stones for a polished, modern look.
  • Pergolas and Pond Areas: Highlight these features with the natural beauty of stones.
  • Water Features: Use decorative aggregates to create or enhance water features.

For added impact, many homeowners combine different types of stones in a single area, creating eye-catching contrasts that bring their garden to life.

Low Maintenance, High Impact

By opting for decorative aggregates instead of a traditional lawn, you eliminate the need for regular mowing. Incorporating potted plants into your garden further reduces maintenance compared to traditional planting beds. You can simply move your pots about whenever you fancy a change!

Whatever your preference—be it bold, angular stones like Grampian Marble, or the soft, beachy hues of Moray Pebble—you’ll find a decorative stone that complements your vision, whether you’re going for a complete redesign or just looking to refresh your existing space.
