The really great news is that WoodStone Decorative Rock groundcover reduces the consumption of natural resources considerably as it doesn’t need to be replaced yearly or at all, especially if it’s installed properly over an undamaged weed barrier.
It also eliminates the need for all of the extra time, work, labor and expense to replace bark season after season!
Once WoodStone is installed, it never needs to be replaced to maintain a beautiful natural look in your borders and landscape.
WoodStone Decorative Rock is a shale product that retains water as well as bark does helping to reduce the need to water as frequently, reducing water consumption and the cost of extra watering. In drought areas especially, WoodStone is ideally suited for installation in areas of the landscape to keep them weed-free and looking fabulous!
WoodStone can be installed around trees, shrubs, bushes and especially native plants that are acclimatized and that require less watering.
Concentrate the water by installing a simple drip water system (hidden out-of-sight underneath the WoodStone groundcover) to supply water directly to the trees, shrubs and/or plants that need the moisture and keep water usage to a bare minimum while still maintaining a beautiful landscape!
Despite it’s name and resemblance to bark, WoodStone Decorative Rock is not a wood or landscape bark product that will burn.
In fact, because it’s stone, it’s perfect for creating wildfire defense spaces around your home or business…
