Choosing points
- Best for unfinished land, fields, natural gardens, and pre-construction sites.
- Dry soil is dusty and light; wet soil becomes dark and glossy.
- Footprints, tire marks, roots, and small stones quickly define scale.
- Edges blend into planting rather than forming clean joints.
How it ages
- Erodes, compacts, becomes muddy, and grows weeds depending on drainage and use.
What to avoid
- Do not leave bare soil as a finished surface where dust, mud, erosion, or accessibility must be controlled.
