Landscape Stone Installation

Recommended Frequency: 10+ years, or as needed

Many colors, sizes and textures of landscape stone are readily available. The choice of stone can vary depending on personal preferences, application and location. For example: landscape stone installation near a pool should be a rounded stone to avoid possible pool liner damage with a large enough size to not be easily kicked or moved. It is highly recommended that any stone landscape bed have a permeable landscape fabric installed under the stone as well as a permanent edging (King Edging etc.) installed along the edges to maintain a crisp separation between lawn and landscape.
