With the rise of small urban dwellings, many homeowners face a problem of maintaining grass lawns with insufficient sunlight. An effective and simple answer to this problem is to replace patchy carpet of grass with decorative gravel.
There is no need for regular maintenance with the lawn mower either. Also if you have pets or kids, grass does not grow well because of repeated trampling. With a gravel yard, there is no such worry and maintenance. Installing a gravel yard, combining decorative gravel with lawn decorative pieces, is an easy task to accomplish. Even for larger yards, a part of it can be converted into an alluring gravel garden area. It may also be cost-effective to use gravel for making a pathway, driveway. You can also make low lying areas where rain water collects into utility areas, for keeping recycling bins, storing lawn furniture, or placing your barbecue grill, with a compact bed of gravel.
