Pool and Patio

Type of Stone: 3/4 - 1 3/4 Virginia Brown River Rock Benefits: For this project, the 3/4 - 1 3/4 river rock is used in place of mulch to line the walkway and patio near the pool. Heavy rain and wind will not move the river rock onto the patio or into the pool. The stone creates an unwelcoming environment for bugs and insects while still allowing a nurturing habitat for plants, trees and flowers. Mulch, however, is a breading ground for bugs and insects near your home and patio.

Driveway

Type of Stone: 1/2-3/4 Mountain Rust River Rock bordered with Flagstone Benefits: The river rock creates a more natural look to any driveway project than the industrial or commercial appearance of gravel, concrete or pavement while still having the benefits of being pervious and long-lasting. The river rock will also not crack, stain or discolor over time creating a beautiful and maintenance-free entrance to your property.
