Note on Heat with Black Star Gravel
Black Star Gravel is a popular choice for contemporary landscapes because of its striking dark color. In Texas summers, dark stone absorbs and retains significant heat. For areas near children's play zones, pet areas, or where bare feet may contact the stone, consider its heat-retention characteristics before placing.
