Patio Stones

Patio stones can be used in a number of creative ways in any garden or construction project. In Southern Ontario, many homeowners and landscape professionals use these stones to tie a home or garden design theme to the natural environment.

Using Patio Stones in Decorative Ways

If you visit your neighbors in communities such as Oakville, Mississauga, Etobicoke, Milton and Burlington, you may see patio stones and gravel used in a wide variety of applications:

  • The finer varieties of gravel and pea stone can be used to build walkways, dog runs, childrens' playgrounds and borders around gardens.
  • Stones can be placed in large expanses of concrete driveways and patios to break up the area visually and to reduce stress cracks.
  • These materials can be used when building the bases of both patios and retaining walls.

Before you buy decorative gravel or patio stone, it's a good idea to visit local suppliers to see what is available. Some companies offer a large selection of patio stones that constantly evolves according to what is available from local and worldwide sources. You should ensure that you buy enough patio stones for your particular project the first time since colour may vary, and the same product may not be available later.
