The Rising Popularity of Paving: Londonstone Comment

London, England -- (SBWire) -- 06/15/2015 --According to a recent survey by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), the number of front gardens containing paving or gravel compared with grass had tripled in the past ten years. Now up to a quarter of all front gardens contain either a gravel or paving stone base, according to the survey.

The growing popularity for the inclusion of stone in the garden is evident. Ultimately, stone can involve less maintenance than a lawn, as well as being highly attractive and ultimately adding value to a home. Paving stones especially can have a timeless appeal, and can endure the worst in weather conditions – so perhaps ideal for the UK! Furthermore, the array of ideal raw material available in the UK – such as limestone and sandstone – means that quality paving is ready possibility.

"We think that the rise in the popularity of paving and gravel in the garden is highly positive," a spokesperson said "As a stone feature in any garden offers an important visual element, Furthermore, this does not mean that you have to remove a lawn or flower beds – as an area of paving or a patio can look stunning when beside a grassed area. Especially popular is having a paved area to set up some seating or a table, often next to a lawn.

The brilliant thing about paving, as the statistics suggest in the signification of popularity, is that it offers so much choice.
