What To Use

What is the best type of landscaping material to use that last a long time and looks nice (i.e. mulch). I am looking to do some landscaping and I want to put something in that will last me a while and looks good

there is a stone around here is called delaware gravel that is a dark brownn reddish color and looks like pine bark mulch but lasts a lot longer.

Re: What To Use

try the local stone yards or landscape places It's about twice as expensive as blue stone but prettier.
