We used stone for our landscaping and our landscape company was super creative in the design. They actually chose two contrasting colors of stone and were very knowledgeable about putting the right plants in the right places. We havent had any problems with plants burning or moisture retention because of the moisure fabric and weed fabric they used. It also added value to our home when we had it reappraised. Saved us alot of money on replacement costs and pest control too.
