At 3\/4 inch, this is the most popular size for decorative ground cover in the Windsor-Essex area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe smooth shape and consistent sizing make it comfortable underfoot and easy to spread evenly. Unlike crushed angular stone, round stone does not compact or interlock — which makes it ideal for garden beds, foundation borders, and areas where drainage and aesthetics matter more than structural support.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGarden Beds \u0026amp; Borders:\u003c\/strong\u003e Creates a clean, natural ground cover.

For walkable areas, use a crushed angular stone instead.
