Patio Gravel
Patio gravel has become a popular material for creating walkways, playgrounds, dog runs, driveways, garden paths and, of course, patios. This type of gravel can also be used as a base for patios and retaining walls.
Using Patio Gravel in Your Garden Projects
In Southern Ontario, patio gravel is an extremely popular option because the small stones often reflect the large amounts of flagstone and granite that can be found in our natural environment. Patio gravel comes in many different colours and sizes to match a variety of architectural styles and garden themes. In this area, you can usually choose from a selection of limestone screening, crush run, concrete and brick washed sand, pea stone, clear gravel and crush red brick. You can even get creative and customize your mix to reflect a unique decor or garden design.
It's fairly easy to get ideas about implementing patio gravel into your gardening or construction projects. You can take a stroll through neighborhoods in Etobicoke, Oakville, Milton, Burlington and Mississauga and see how other homeowners and landscape designers have used these materials to enhance curb appeal or solve practical problems on their property. You can also visit local suppliers to see what types of patio gravel they have on hand and even bring a handful home to see how it works with your project.
Van Beek's Garden Supply has been selling patio gravel, organic topsoil and mulch, sod, grass seed and other gardening materials in Southern Ontario since 1962.
