I have a border in my garden with lots of rhodedendrons and azaleas. I have ill health now so i need to make the garden easier to maintain. There are lots of weeds at the moment, which i plan to have removed. Then some weed control fabric and stone chippings.
Cotswold stone chippings would be great, but probably would affect the ph too much. Is that right?

If it is, then what alternatives do i have? Are there most neutral or acid stones out there?

I dont really want to use bark or wood chippings because i dont like the look really.

thanks
