If you’re looking to refresh your garden without the demands of high maintenance, decorative aggregates and garden stones provide an affordable and stylish solution. Whether you're planning a full garden makeover or simply updating borders, paths or seating areas, these materials add instant texture, colour and definition to any outdoor space.

Create Eye-Catching Pathways
Garden paths needn’t be plain. Decorative aggregates such as Cotswold Chippings, Moonstone Gravel or Polar White Stones add visual interest while remaining practical. Their angular shape helps them lock together, forming a firm, low-slip surface that’s ideal for walkways. To create an attractive and easy-care path, simply lay a weed membrane and spread your chosen aggregate on top.

Define Borders and Edging
Garden stones are an excellent way to define edges between lawns, flower beds and patios. Options like Scottish Cobbles or Flamingo Chippings are ideal for edging, providing contrast and visual structure that enhances planted areas. They also serve a practical purpose by keeping soil and mulch neatly contained, improving the overall appearance of your garden layout.

Build a Low-Maintenance Rock Garden
To cut back on watering and weeding, consider replacing traditional flower beds with a rock garden. Combine a variety of stone sizes—from small chippings to large boulders—with drought-tolerant plants and succulents for a contemporary finish. Select stone colours that complement your paving or fencing to create a cohesive and balanced design.

Upgrade Driveways and Seating Areas
For driveways and seating areas, choose robust options like 20mm Moonstone Gravel or Golden Gravel. These decorative aggregates offer long-lasting durability while enhancing drainage and reducing surface water build-up. When laid over a proper sub-base, they require minimal maintenance and retain their appearance over time, making them a smart and attractive choice.
