Specifications
Application
To get the best results from your 40mm Desert Gold Riverstone, follow these expert tips:
- Foundation Layer: For the most professional finish, always install a Heavy-Duty Weedmat prior to laying the stone. This prevents the larger pebbles from sinking into the subsoil.
- Depth Management: We recommend spreading to a depth of 50-60mm. This ensures the stones interlock properly, leaving no gaps or visible weedmat.
- Natural Sculpting: Use this 40mm grade to line the base of waterfalls or dry stream beds. The size mimics a natural riverbed perfectly and handles water flow without shifting.
- Texture Blending: For a more organic “naturalized” look, mix this 40mm grade with our 20mm Desert Gold Fine Pebbles to create varied textures within your garden beds.
