Decorative Stone FAQs

What are the benefits of using decorative stones for landscaping?
Decorative stones add lasting beauty, reduce maintenance, and improve drainage in landscape beds. Unlike organic mulch, decorative stone doesn't decompose, blow away, or need annual replacement. It suppresses weeds, retains soil moisture, and comes in a wide variety of colors, sizes, and textures. Browse our decorative stone collection for over 20 varieties, or explore our stone mulch options for ground cover alternatives.
Are decorative stones for garden landscapes easy to maintain?
Very easy. Decorative stones require minimal upkeep compared to mulch or ground cover plants. They don't decompose, fade minimally over time, and won't attract insects. Occasional leaf removal or rinsing with water is typically all that's needed. Installing landscape fabric beneath the stone further reduces maintenance. Explore our decorative stone options and pair with natural stone borders for a complete, low-maintenance design.
Can landscape decorative stone be used for walkways and pathways?
Absolutely. Smaller decorative stones (like pea gravel, river rock, or crushed stone) work beautifully for walkways and pathways. They provide a stable walking surface, excellent drainage, and an attractive natural look. For high-traffic areas, choosing angular crushed stone over rounded varieties will provide a firmer surface. Browse our decorative stone for pathway options, or consider natural stone garden path and flagstone for a more formal look.
Can I purchase decorative stones for sale in bulk?
Yes. Kurtz Bros. sells decorative stones in bulk cubic yard quantities as well as 1 cubic yard bulk bags for convenient delivery or pickup. Buying in bulk is the most cost-effective option for larger projects. We carry over 20 varieties of decorative stone, so you can choose the perfect color and size for your landscape design.
Are outdoor decorative stones weather resistant?
Yes. Natural decorative stones are inherently weather resistant and built to withstand Ohio's freeze-thaw cycles, heavy rain, snow, and intense summer sun. Unlike manufactured products, natural stone won't crack, fade significantly, or break down from UV exposure. This makes decorative stone a lasting investment. For additional hardscaping that weathers equally well, explore our natural stone and pavers and wallstone collections.
Is decorative landscaping stone environmentally friendly?
Decorative stone is one of the more eco-friendly landscaping options. It's a natural, non-toxic material that doesn't require chemical treatments, doesn't release dyes into the soil, and never needs replacement under normal use. It also eliminates the need for annual mulch production and delivery. For an even greener option, pair decorative stone with our recycled aggregate as a base layer underneath, keeping construction waste out of landfills while creating a beautiful finished surface.
