Gravel, rocks, and stones are becoming very popular here in Central Florida for not only driveways, but for landscapes and walkways. They are very versatile and come in myriad colors and sizes, adding instant curb appeal. They create a welcoming feel with a low lifetime cost.
“While the initial cost to fill landscape beds with rock mulch can be very costly, the rock lasts much longer, saving you money in the long run. Another benefit to rock mulch vs. organic mulch is that beds mulched with rock do not provide hiding spots and adequate breeding grounds for many pests and diseases like organic mulches do,” according to Gardening Know How.
