Why My 'Low-Maintenance' Gravel Yard Failed (And What Works in Marlboro)

My gravel-and-succulents Pinterest dream became a weed-filled, muddy mess by year two. Turns out, New Jersey weather laughs at "desert landscaping."

Baur Lawn's Hardscaping page (https://baurlawns.com/services/hardscape-installation/) showed me solutions that actually work here:

• Permeable pavers that handle our heavy rains

• Native ground covers between stones

• Proper base layers to prevent sinking

Why It Works Here
✔ Handles freeze-thaw cycles
✔ Manages stormwater (no more muddy rivers)
✔ Looks intentional, not abandoned
