Looking for a way to add some style to your landscape without the hassle of replacing the mulch each season? Musselman’s decorative stone could provide the perfect alternative to mulch and even enhance your own unique landscape vision. Here are three key reasons you should buy decorative stone!

1. It’s Cost-Effective

Stone is a cost-effective alternative to mulch. Thanks to its long lifespan, decorative stone is extremely low maintenance and rarely requires replacing. You know what that means. Unlike mulch, which you have to replace almost every year, decorative stone lasts a lifetime.

2. Do More With Decorative Stone

Decorative stone comes in various shapes, sizes, and colors that serve several different functions for any landscape and offers unlimited opportunities for creative design, including:

• Replacing mulch in and around walkways, ponds, and other water features
• Providing a strong structural base for patios and outdoor living spaces

3. It Ensures a Healthy Garden

With stone, you have no decay or decomposition. Whereas as mulch gets added and moved each spring, you might create unwanted damage to your garden. Decorative stone provides a safe, stable environment for your plants. Plus, installing the appropriate landscape fabric underneath the stone keeps weeds away for a longer period of time. The end result? A healthier, happier garden.

Thanks to its long lifespan, multi-functionality, and endless design capabilities, decorative stone is a fantastic alternative to mulch that’s guaranteed to keep your landscape healthy and beautiful for years to come!
