Ornamental Stone FAQs — Central Connecticut

What types of stone do you install in Central CT?

River rock, pea gravel, crushed granite, fieldstone, bluestone, and decorative boulders — all suited to New England landscapes. We source locally where possible and match stone color and texture to your existing landscape palette.

Does ornamental stone require maintenance?

Stone beds are extremely low-maintenance compared to mulch — they don't decompose, don't blow away in CT's nor'easters, and retain their appearance year-round. Annual cleanup to remove leaf litter and occasional raking is all that's needed.

Can ornamental stone help with drainage issues?

Yes, strategically placed stone beds and gravel pathways can significantly improve drainage in Central CT's clay-heavy soils, reducing erosion and standing water issues common after heavy spring rainfall.
