WoodStone Groundcover FAQ's


What Is WoodStone Groundcover?

WoodStone groundcover is a beautiful, multi-color earthtone natural shale (stone) groundcover product that looks similar to bark  groundcover but it never needs to be replaced.....
saving time, work and money.
How Does Using WoodStone In My Borders And Landscape
Instead Of Bark.....     Save Me Money?

Compared to other stone groundcovers and many bulky bark groundcovers, WoodStone's thin, oblong shape enables you to cover more ground with less groundcover product.

And it's comparable light weight means that you pay less for shipping (by weight) to haul or to have more groundcover per load delivered to your home or work site..... adding up to additional savings.

What saves you the most time, work and money when you use WoodStone groundcover in your landscape, though,  is the fact that it never needs to be replaced..... saving BIG MONEY season after season and year after year!

And because WoodStone is a very low-maintenance groundcover product that doesn't fade, deteriorate and rot or blow away, you'll also save considerably on maintenance costs throughout the year..... year after year!

Spring Has Sprung And It's Time To Replace Bark Again... Or NOT!

by Barb Schacher on 05/08/10

Many homeowners, businesses, stores, government and public agencies face a very common dilemma every spring (and often in the fall again) when it comes time to replace the faded, worn-out bark in their borders, flowerbeds and in their landscapes in general.

.

We all know that replacing bark can take quite a bit of time, a whole lot of hard work (especially if you do it yourself to stay within budget) and it is increasingly expense to purchase. 

.

Why?  Because bark supplies are dwindling fast.  The cost of bark has sky-rocketed lately due to the high demand and short supply.  And, with lumber mills shutting down or scaling back due to the slumping economy, the situation only promises to get worse.  That's the bad news..... 

.

The good news ~ actually fantastic news ~ is that there is a new and incredible alternative to bark groundcover called WoodStone groundcover. 

.

WoodStone is a shale product that won't fade or deteriorate and it never needs to be replaced.  It looks similar to bark groundcover yet it's a one-of-a-kind permanent groundcover solution. 

.

Install WoodStone once in your borders and landscape and then enjoy your landscape for years to come without replacing the groundcover.

.

Because it's a stone groundcover product, WoodStone can also be used in many other ways in the landscape including in pathways and on steep banks.

.

WoodStone is gorgeous used in streams, ponds and other water features.

.

When wet, WoodStone's earthtone and blue slate color combination deepens, creating a one-of-a-kind natural look. 

.

WoodStone groundcover is definitely in a category all its own when it comes to versatility.  Click Here to read more about the numerous characteristics and benefits of WoodStone groundcover.
