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.

Especially popular is having a paved area to set up some seating or a table, often next to a lawn.
