Stone Borders FAQs
Your questions about our Stone Borders service answered.
- How deep should stone borders be installed?
Proper installation depth depends on stone type and application. Generally, borders should be set 3-4 inches below grade with a compacted base beneath. This prevents shifting.
- Will stone borders prevent grass from growing into beds?
Stone borders significantly reduce grass creep but aren’t 100% effective against aggressive grasses like Bermuda. For complete grass control, we can add landscape fabric and root barrier techniques.
- Can stone borders be installed on slopes?
Yes. Stone borders work well on slopes and help control erosion. Sloped installations require additional care to ensure stability.
- What’s the difference between stone borders and retaining walls?
Stone borders are low, decorative edges that define spaces, typically 3-6 inches high. Retaining walls are structural elements that hold back soil and manage grade changes, 12 inches or taller.
- Can you match borders to my existing hardscape?
Usually, yes. We coordinate border materials with existing patios, walkways, and other hardscape elements. During consultation, we assess your current materials and recommend complementary options.
- How do stone borders compare to plastic or metal edging?
Stone costs more upfront but lasts decades, looks better, and requires less maintenance. Plastic becomes brittle and visible. Metal rusts. Stone improves with age.
