Description
Sandstone is a natural feature rock carrying warm, earthy tan tones and an irregular shape, supplied in a 50-150mm range. It suits gardens that lean on natural colour, where a natural sandstone finish suits better than a uniform crushed aggregate.
As a stone it does not break down like an organic mulch. Laid over a prepared base, typically with weed mat underneath, it is a low-maintenance ground cover. Individual stones vary in size and shape within the range.
