With its modern design and impressive durability, Musselman’s natural stone products can beautify any type of architectural exterior. Choose from any of the following to install this season:
Natural Stone Creates a Healthy Landscape
Water drains more quickly through small stones and gravel compared to soil. Adding only one layer of variety of our natural stones can help protect your landscaping from excess water retention when heavy showers are in the forecast. Installing a layer of this stone can also be used to create a natural waterway, surplus water away from your garden or home’s foundation.
Natural stones also absorb heat, preventing it from reaching the plants’ roots in the harsh summer sun! This means fewer plants drying out and better growing conditions for any summer landscape.
Natural Stone Adds an Extra Layer of Sustainability & Durability
Unlike other common landscaping materials, natural stone is easy to maintain. No need for sealing, painting, or staining—just a simple wash with a garden hose occasionally will do. Plus, it’s long-lasting, so no need to foot the bill for frequent replacements!
As the name would suggest, natural stone can also provide environmental benefits to the landscape. Because it’s naturally sourced, it does not contain any toxic chemicals or substances that other landscaping materials may include. Plus, natural stone is recyclable, so it can be utilized for multiple projects throughout its lifetime.
As the summer landscaping season continues to heat up, consider laying down some of Musselman’s natural stone to take that outdoor space to the next level!
