Why Decorative Aggregates Are Essential for Winter Garden Maintenance
Decorative aggregates aren’t just about aesthetics—they’re practical solutions for garden maintenance. Here’s why they’re a great choice for winter:
- Prevent Mud and Puddles: Gravel and aggregates create solid surfaces that improve drainage.
- Protect Plant Roots: Topsoil insulates roots and enriches the soil, keeping plants healthy during winter.
- Add Visual Appeal: Materials like Plum Slate and Polar White Gravel bring elegance and style to your garden.
- Durable and Low-Maintenance: Decorative aggregates require minimal upkeep, making them ideal for winter projects.
Winter Garden Projects You Can Tackle with Decorative Aggregates
Upgrade Pathways and Driveways
Pathways are often the first to suffer during winter, becoming muddy and slippery. By laying pea gravel or gravel 20-10mm, you can create a durable, non-slip surface that’s practical and visually appealing.
- How to Do It: Lay a foundation, add weed control fabric, and spread the gravel evenly for stability.
- Recommended Products: Gravel 20-10mm, Pea Gravel.
Refresh Flower Beds with Decorative Aggregates and Topsoil
Flower beds can lose their charm in winter, but they don’t have to. Add a layer of topsoil to improve soil health, then finish with decorative aggregates like Flamingo Chippings or Cotswold Chippings for a polished look.
- How to Do It: Spread topsoil first, then arrange decorative aggregates around plants for protection and style.
- Recommended Products: Flamingo Chippings, Plum Slate, Topsoil.
Improve Drainage in Your Garden
Winter rains can lead to water pooling, which damages plants and lawns. Solve this by installing a simple drainage system with gravel 20-10mm.
- How to Do It: Dig a shallow trench in low-lying areas, line it with fabric, and fill with gravel for water redirection.
- Recommended Product: Gravel 20-10mm.
Level and Revitalize Lawns with Topsoil
Uneven or patchy lawns can be leveled and revitalized with nutrient-rich topsoil. This creates a smooth surface and prepares your lawn for spring planting.
- How to Do It: Spread topsoil over uneven areas and level with a rake for an even finish.
- Recommended Product: Topsoil.
