Fed up with the gravel from your paths escaping onto the lawn and damaging your mower blades? Why not try using crushed seashells instead. These shells will simply break when a lawnmower accidentally runs over them - as well as being a more sustainable option than gravel or peashingle.
Cockle shell and seashell aggregates are totally organic, and are made from re-cycled waste from the British Shellfish Industry.
They have many uses in Landscape and garden design but are most commonly used as a gravel replacement for paths and driveways.
Crushed seashells can also be used very effectively as a mulch for planting beds or to top dress plant pots and containers containers. They have excellent water retention properties and even act as a natural snail repellent!
