Stairway Rock Bed

Type of Stone: 3/4 - 1 3/4 Virginia Brown River Rock Benefits: For this project, the 3/4 - 1 3/4 river rock is used in place of mulch to line the walkway and patio near the pool. Heavy rain and wind will not move the river rock onto the patio or into the pool. The stone creates an unwelcoming environment for bugs and insects while still allowing a nurturing habitat for plants, trees and flowers. Mulch, however, is a breading ground for bugs and insects near your home and patio.
