Hammond Farms carries one of Mid-Michigan’s largest selections of decorative stone mulches. While initially more expensive than bark mulch, the overall durability makes this product an ideal choice for certain landscape applications. Decorative stones add a unique and distinctive look to any landscape. The vibrant colors are ideal for creating visual boarders in landscape beds and accent areas in your yard.
Another alternative to decorative stone mulch is material that is native to Michigan, also known as Michigan stone. This multi-colored, smooth stone is traditional lower in cost than many of the decorative stones. The Michigan stone comes in a variety of sizes from very small (peastone) to incredibly large boulders used to accent landscapes. We strongly recommend using our C.M.H.D. contractor grade weed fabric under ANY stone mulch to help eliminate weeds. Weed fabric allows water to pass through to plants while resisting weeds.
If you are looking for a natural material to create a retaining wall or to accent your landscape, consider our selection of Michigan boulders. Boulders come in a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes. Due to the variations in sizes, we STRONGLY recommend stopping into one our convenient locations to select your specific boulders before having them delivered.
