As we approach the end of another fantastic year, we reflect on the joy of serving our loyal customers and welcoming new faces! Our team worked tirelessly to ensure every order was handled with the quality and dedication that defines us. A big thank you to everyone at Landscape Barn for their hard work!

At Landscape Barn, we're always looking forward, and one trend that's gaining traction this year is the shift from traditional garden mulch to decorative stone alternatives.

It's not something many homeowners think about. The typical spring routine involves digging out that old, soggy, flattened, and often moldy mulch, hoping to salvage some of it—but more often than not, it's a lost cause. But what if you could save time and effort by opting for a longer-lasting, better-looking alternative? That's where Landscape Barn can step in!

New England River Rock is a stunning choice for various landscaping needs. Whether it's backfilling walls, filling gardens, or even French drains, the pinks, blues, greens, and purples of our river stone can make any home or business stand out while reducing maintenance!

Another great option is slate, a popular alternative to mulch. At Landscape Barn, our slate comes in beautiful red or black tones, perfect for pool areas, patios, curb fills in parking lots, or alongside commercial buildings. It also works wonderfully as a crushed walkway and has the ideal color and texture to replace mulch. And once the slate gets a little moisture? The colors truly come to life! What we love most is that it doesn't fade. After all, slate is shale that's been subjected to immense heat and pressure over thousands or even millions of years—those colors are here to stay! So, say goodbye to the late-summer dullness that mulch inevitably brings. Slate won't break down and is sure to catch everyone's eye in the neighborhood.

Or maybe you're looking for something a bit different—our White Mountain Granite might be just what you need. With its predominantly white appearance, accented by dark streaks and veins, it’s an eye-catching alternative to mulch, perfect for surrounding water features or patios. It's durable, won’t fade, and brings any area it’s placed in to life.

Consider this as a glimpse into how you can diversify your landscape options or transform your garden into something everyone will admire. And as always, your friends at Landscape Barn are here to help with any questions! Contact us today for more information and pricing!
