The benefits of Deco-Pak Highland cobbles for your property

There are lots of ways to add visual interest, colour and practical appeal to a garden, and the use of Scottish cobbles is certainly one of them. In particular, the Deco-Pak Highland cobbles receive rave reviews from customers, and here's why they would make a fantastic addition to any garden.

Natural appeal

If you're looking to add natural features to your garden, then the Deco-Pak cobbles score top marks. These beautiful cobbles are sourced from the Scottish coast, so they will bring an organic look to your garden.

Attractive and colourful

Coming in beige and brown colours, these earthy cobbles can introduce warm tones to your garden. Whether you use them to create a focal feature or use them for practical ground cover purposes, they are certain to catch the eye and boost the stylish appeal of your space.

Provides texture

Creating a showstopping garden is much more than just adding lots of colour; it also involves adding different textures to the mix to make your space that bit more interesting. You can introduce texture by incorporating different materials, such as wood or metal, but for a simple yet highly effective way to give your garden a textural boost, the Deco-Pak cobbles will do the job, thanks to their different shapes and colours and smooth appearance.

Great for contrast

As well as introducing texture to a garden, every good gardener knows the importance of creating contrast, so that certain elements blend in harmoniously or command attention. The Deco-Pak cobbles are superb for adding contrast to your outside space, whether they're positioned around a flowerbed or pot with bright flowers, around a pond, or anywhere else in or around your garden.

Versatile

What makes these Scottish cobbles especially appealing is the fact that they are incredibly versatile. As they're slightly larger than the Scottish pebbles, the Deco-Pak variety can be used in both large and small gardens. As well as being perfect for use in domestic gardens, they also offer visual appeal in other types of outdoor spaces, such as commercial premises or public parks.

The cobbles can also be used in many different ways throughout the garden, whether you want to create an attractive focal feature or add a more practical solution to make your garden easier to maintain. Because the cobbles come in neutral tones, they also work well with pretty much any other colour, material or structure, making them a win-win in any outdoor setting.

HIGHLAND COBBLES

Enhance a pond

Many gardeners appreciate the importance of having a pond, not just for the wildlife benefits but also because ponds add tons of visual interest to a garden. How you decorate your pond around the edges and within the pond and its margins makes a big difference to the look and feel of it, as well as improving its functionality.

Adding Deco-Pak Highland cobbles can truly enhance your pond in many ways. The cobbles will exude a beautiful glistening tone when they are immersed in water, but they can also soften the edges around the pond, giving it a natural look. Use the cobbles at one side of the pond to create a 'beach' or an access point for creatures such as hedgehogs to safely get in and out of the water with ease.

As well as making the perfect partner for a pond, the Deco-Pak cobbles earn their place when situated near any kind of water feature or stream. They're also an excellent option for covering French drains, providing practical and visual appeal in equal measures.

Fish friendly

If you keep fish in a pond, then, inevitably, you'll want to avoid adding anything that might cause harm to them. The good news is that the Deco-Pak Highland cobbles are fish-friendly, so you can place them in, around and outside the pond with a clear conscience.

Perfect for beds and borders

The Deco-Pak cobbles make an excellent ground cover and are ideal for placing around flowerbeds, borders and even pots. Not only do they exude decorative and visual interest, but they can also help to keep your garden areas looking tidy. By placing the cobbles over bare soil, they may also prevent animals from using your borders as a toilet.

Suitable for different garden styles

Many gardeners like to create a specific style or theme for their outside space, with cottage gardens, formal gardens, coastal gardens or Mediterranean gardens being some of the most popular options. Whatever type of garden you want to create, the Deco-Pak cobbles will blend in well with any kind of theme.

Attractive in gabion baskets

Modern, stylish and practical in equal measures, gabion baskets are an attractive feature in a garden, and can also be used to divide sections or even separate boundaries. As the Deco-Pak Highland cobbles are large, they are the perfect addition to any gabion basket, helping to instantly transform your space, whether it's in a domestic or a commercial setting.

Low maintenance

If you're looking to create a low maintenance garden, these cobbles will happily earn their place. They will continue to look good all year round, wherever they are situated, without needing to be washed or wiped. Because they can be added to beds and borders, covering the soil, they also make gardening tasks easier.

Natural mulch

Applying mulch to beds and borders can help to retain moisture in the soil and stop plants from drying out. There are various options you can use as mulch, but for a really attractive addition, these cobbles are a must-have. The natural shape of these cobbles means they are especially good for drainage purposes.

Weed suppressant

By covering bare soil in beds and borders, the Deco-Pak cobbles can even work as an effective weed suppressant. This can ensure plants won't have to compete for nutrients from unwanted invaders, and it means you won't have to spend as much time tackling annoying weeds.
