Natural Stone FAQs

Is natural stone landscaping suitable for Ohio weather conditions?
Yes. Natural stone is one of the best materials for Ohio's climate. It handles freeze-thaw cycles, heavy rain, snow, ice, and summer heat without cracking, warping, or deteriorating. Products like wallstone, flagstone, and garden path material are quarried to endure these exact conditions. Browse our full natural stone collection to find the right material for your project.

What natural stone products are available for landscaping?
Kurtz Bros. carries a full range of natural stone products including flagstone (in multiple sizes), wallstone (Laurel Mountain, Colonial Grey, and Fieldstone varieties), garden path stone, stepping stones, and boulders. These are available in various natural colors and textures for patios, walkways, retaining walls, and garden features. Pair with sand for bedding and limestone for base layers.
Can natural stone for garden beds improve drainage?
Yes. Natural stone placed in and around garden beds promotes better drainage by creating channels for water to flow away from plant roots. Stone borders and raised beds prevent soil erosion, and using stone mulch in beds allows water to percolate through rather than pooling on the surface. Pair with quality topsoil and compost to create the ideal growing environment with proper drainage.
Is decorative natural stone a good alternative to mulch?
Natural stone is an excellent mulch alternative for many applications. It never decomposes, doesn't need annual replacement, won't wash away in heavy rain, and doesn't attract termites or pests. Explore our stone mulch options for ground cover, or browse the full decorative stone collection for a wider range of colors and textures to replace traditional mulch.
What is the most affordable landscape stone?
For budget-friendly options, limestone and recycled aggregate offer the lowest price per cubic yard. Among decorative options, standard river rock, pea gravel, and basic flagstone tend to be the most affordable. Buying in bulk significantly reduces per-unit costs. Browse our decorative stone and natural stone pages to compare pricing.
What are types of natural stones?
The main types of natural stone used in landscaping include limestone (for base and decorative use), sandstone (popular for flagstone and stepping stones), granite (extremely durable for high-traffic areas), slate (ideal for flat surfaces), and fieldstone (for rustic walls and borders). Kurtz Bros. offers natural stone in Laurel Mountain, Colonial Grey, and Fieldstone varieties, along with flagstone, boulders, and stepping stones. Pair with limestone base for a complete installation.
