Top Tips For Purchasing Limestone For Your Garden

Limestone is a popular decorative material that can be used for creating walkways and more throughout your yard. You might know that you want to make use of limestone on your property, but you might not be accustomed to buying or using it. These are a few simple yet helpful tips that you can keep in mind when you are purchasing limestone for your garden.

Have It Delivered If Possible

If you are buying a small amount of limestone, such as if you want to create a small path through your garden, then you might choose to buy it by the bag. If this is the case, then you might be able to pick it up yourself without much of a problem. If you're going to be using a lot of limestone on your property, however, you may need to buy a lot more at one time. Typically, buying it by the truckload and having it delivered by the company that you are buying your limestone from is the easiest and most affordable option in this situation. Consider asking your limestone supplier about whether or not delivery options are available.

Buy Good-Quality Limestone

Since you are probably purchasing limestone with the intention of adding a decorative touch to your property, you'll want to make sure that it looks good. Limestone is available in different sizes, so consider if you would prefer to have very small pieces of limestone or if you would prefer the look of bigger pieces. Many suppliers will let you choose how fine you would like your limestone to be, although there will typically be some variances within the batch.

If you don't mind the look of slightly discolored limestone, you can look into recycled options. This may be more affordable and is eco-friendly. If you want to give your lawn a nice, fresh look when putting in limestone, however, you may want to go with new limestone instead of recycled limestone.

Have the Right Tools On Hand

You might want to start spreading your limestone as soon as you can after you have it delivered, but you will need to make sure that you have the right tools on hand. For a smaller project, you might be able to get everything done with shovels and rakes. However, you may need to rent equipment for hauling and spreading bigger amounts of limestone. For example, you may want to rent a small tractor with the right attachments if you are going to be working on a bigger limestone job.
