Decoration of flower beds
Marble granules are used as an independent unit or combined with wood mulch. This option frees us from the excess weed around the flower bed, and its shape will only be emphasized by the grace of the stone. He can "echo" the color scheme, which was selected when planting the planting material.
Flowerbeds can be created on a flat surface or on a naturally or artificially created hill in any container that is suitable for these purposes. An additional mound of soil in the presence of an elevation above the ground is decorated with marble chips. The use of large granules: approximately 20 cm in diameter, makes it possible to make a mound and inside the flowerbed. This method contributes to the preservation of moisture, prevents the appearance of weeds and does not create a barrier for the entry of oxygen into the ground. Shades of stone can echo the vegetation of the flowerbed or be contrasting, but in any case everything should be in harmony.
