Sustainable landscaping is no longer just a trend – it’s a customer expectation. From biodiversity to water management, climate-aware choices are shaping today’s garden designs. Meadow View Stone is leading the way with innovative aggregate solutions that align with this growing demand.

One of the biggest shifts in consumer behaviour is the rise of gravel gardens; a low-maintenance, cost-effective approach that looks stunning and also supports long-term environmental resilience. Gravel helps retain moisture in dry conditions, allows for superior drainage and reduces water run-off.

One standout product is Meadow View Stone’s ECO Sparkle 20mm, launched at Glee 2024 and already a top 20 best-seller, with a re-ordering rate of 45%. This eye-catching aggregate combines a recycled by-product from China Clay production with premium white chippings. It has a unique decorative finish with silver tones, black flecks, white and hints of light pink. Its visual appeal and strong eco credentials make it a smart choice for environmentally conscious consumers and an asset for garden centres looking to stand out in the market.

ECO Sparkle's popularity reflects key garden trends for 2025:

• The growth of hardcore gardening for reduced water use and maintenance
• Growing demand for wildlife-friendly landscapes
• The importance of permeable surfaces in urban and flood-prone areas
• Consumer interest in recycled, ethically sourced materials

"ECO Sparkle isn’t just a decorative aggregate, it’s a solution to environmental challenges garden designers face today," says Sarah Hill, Managing Director at Meadow View Stone. "It empowers stockists with an exclusive product that delivers both beauty and purpose."

As homeowners and landscapers increasingly seek materials that align with their eco values, Meadow View Stone is proud to support the industry with sustainable, high-quality aggregates.
