To begin with, WoodStone's an all-natural decorative rock groundcover product that doesn't deteriorate or produce toxins that harm the environment.  WoodStone also helps to retain moisture in the areas where it's installed reducing water consumption or usage, as well as reducing the expense of watering.  It's fantastic for drought areas!

There's Absolutely No Crushing Involved In The Production Process

WoodStone isn't a crushed aggragate groundcover product which eliminates the crushing process that many other stone groundcovers go through during production.  It's simply screened into three consistent sizes before shipping to the customer.

Almost everything we do affects the environment in some fashion..... large or small.  Our mission is to minimize that affect, whenever possible, using common sense.  WoodStone Decorative Rock does that in a big way, especially when compared to bark groundcovers!

WoodStone Decorative Rock Is Installed Only ONCE... Not Repeatedly

Bark groundcovers, whether fine or coarse, ALL eventually deteriorate or rot away, usually within one season.  And then they have to be replaced to maintain the borders or landscape areas that they've been used in.  WoodStone is installed ONCE... it doesn't ever deteriorate or rot away..... completely eliminating the need and the cost of replacing it repeatedly over the years.  This alone reduces your impact on the environment tremedously...
Wholesale Customers:  All WoodStone Decorative Rock product orders FOB Eagle Mountain Slate Quarry.  Freight and/or delivery costs are in addition to product pricing and must be paid separately by the customer directly to the carrier or freight company.

Sizes and colors may vary from those pictured as these are natural stone products.  Due care and process must be used in the installation, cleaning and sealing process.  Blue Slate, Inc. is not liable for any misuse of stone material.
For those who are concerned with the quality of our environment, it's comforting to know that we're producing and using products that are environmentally friendly.

WoodStone Decorative Rock, a natural shale groundcover product, is definately and truly environmentally friendly when used around our homes & businesses.

WoodStone Decorative Rock Doesn't Deteriorate or Produce Toxins That Are Harmful To The Environment
For example, over a ten year time period, if you choose to use WoodStone Decorative Rock groundcover in your borders and landscape areas you will have used only about 1/10th to 1/20th of the amount of bark groundcover required to complete and maintain the same landscape project during that same ten year time period, reducing your use of our natural resources in a huge way!
Why?  You guessed it..... WoodStone only needs to be installed once and lasts indefinitely, whereas bark groundcovers would need to be installed or replaced (usually once or twice a year) ten to twenty times over a ten year time period!

As a result, choosing WoodStone Decorative Rock would have 1/10th or 1/20th (more or less) of the environmental impact that bark would over ten years.  That's a serious reduction in your environmental impact! 

Reduce Your Environmental Impact ~ Reduce Your Personal Depletion Of Natural Resources By Up To 1000% Over A Ten Year Period Simply
By Using WoodStone In Your Landscape!

In other words, you would reduce your personal use of natural resources by a minimum of 1000% over ten years simply by using Woodstone Decorative Rock instead of bark in your landscape!   

Simultaneously Reduce Emissions That Are Harmful To Our Environment
The same holds true for the reduction in emissions released into the environment just as a result of transporting your groundcover to your site.

With landscape bark, you have transport it repeatedly year after year.  With WoodStone Decorative Rock, you transport it once!  Another significant impact difference.
Above I've talked about some of the ways that WoodStone reduces the negative effect on the environment... but that's not the only 'green' effect of choosing WoodStone Decorative Rock...

Pay Less To Go Green With WoodStone...NOT More!

Normally, when we Go Green by buying and using green products we tend to pay a higher price for doing so. 

Not with Woodstone!  WoodStone also reduces the negative effect on your pocketbook for some of the very same reasons it reduces the negative impact on the environment. 
The first way is very obvious.  Since WoodStone Decorative Rock only needs to be purchased and installed once for indefinite use, it will cost you a fraction of what bark groundcovers will over time.

WoodStone Decorative Rock is very competitively priced when compared to other stone groundcovers, as well.  In fact, it's usually priced more economically than it's competitors because the production costs are lower than most and that savings is pass along to customers.

WoodStone Also Saves You Money In Other Less Obvious Ways

There are also a few other considerations to think about when comparing costs of a landscape groundcover project.....

WoodStone's Characteristic Thin, Flat, Oblong... Money Saving... Shape!

Because of WoodStone's thin, flat, oblong shape, WoodStone Decprative Rock also covers more square footage than almost all other stone groundcovers, especially the bulkier, round stone groundcovers.

A Light Weight Decorative Rock Product With A Heavy Weight
Money Saving Impact On Your Wallet!

In addition, WoodStone is comparatively lightweight.  Therefore a delivery truck will haul more yards of WoodStone than most other stone groundcovers for the same cost in freight simply because these type of groundcover products are typically shipped by weight rather than yardage. 

On large landscape projects, this amounts to a considerable savings!  The bigger the project, the more you'll save. 
As you can see, WoodStone Decorative Rock stretches your landscape dollar in a variety of ways..... and the savings can really add up!
Unfortunately, that fresh ‘look’ fades away all too quickly and….. as I pointed out above, it can cost a bundle to keep that look alive by periodically and repeatedly replacing it over and over and over again.... 

So.....with the cost of landscape bark on the rise and its availability shrinking..... the repetitious high costs of repeated bark purchases and bark installations, as well as high-maintenance costs and repetitious freight costs.....

Not to mention the impact on the environment.....now may be the perfect time to make a refreshing change!
