For a while now, decorative stones have increased in popularity throughout Ireland.

Apart from the fact that they improve the look of any space, there are other reasons why decorative stones are pretty popular.
Why Decorative Stones are Popular:
They allow for easy drainage
Driveways and gardens that suffer from heavy rainfall can lead to spot flooding and a messy-looking garden.
Decorative stone allows for easy drainage across gardens and driveways and maintains a beautiful look.
While tarmac is popular, it requires more work and planning for the simple runoff of rainwater.
They are versatile
Decorative stones are also quite popular because of their adaptability. Designers love decorative stones because they come in multiple colours, shapes, and sizes, making it possible to come up with several unique combinations.
They can be used on driveways, as part of garden features and to amplify existing features of your home and business.
They are beautiful
Decorative stones like pebbles and slate are easy on the eye. Gardeners and other designers love using slates and pebbles because they are smooth and come in multiple appealing colours.
Your home or business area stands out with the use of decorative stone. You can find a wide variety at Dermot Casey Hire and Sales.

There are different types of decorative stones, and each stone type has a unique benefit. Slate, for example, is generally sharp and is more suited to gardens, smooth stones are ideal for ponds and patios.
While slate may not be ideal for driveways because they can easily slice open car tires. When dealing with decorative stones, it is always wise to seek expert advice.
