Labyrinths are intricate patterns that encompass spiritual value and meaning by allowing people to walk a path of self-reflection. Due to having to withstand frequent footfall a strong gravel mesh foundation is vital, as paths are drawn into the labyrinth with two contrasting colours of gravel. A gravel mat was required to keep the two colours of gravel from mixing, otherwise there would be no clearly defined paths and the details of the pattern would be spoiled.

With these requirements in mind, Ian had to source a gravel mat that could serve him both aesthetically and practically. After seeing an advertisement for the Gravelrings gravel mat, he was intrigued by the unique design. The gravel mesh-backed base meant gravel could not slip underneath the gravel mats causing them to lift - a particularly important feature when creating a labyrinth.

Another important feature was the gravel mats' strong circular shaped cells. The closed cell structure allowed gravel to be securely locked into place. This eliminated the problems of displaced gravel and a rutted surface. Intertwined with the easy clip mechanism and the ease of installation, Ian knew he needed this gravel mesh.

Gravel mats designed to stand the test of time

After Ian and three of his friends laid the gravel mats themselves, they were overcome with joy at the finished result – a beautiful gravel labyrinth. Now guests at the retreat can enjoy the wonders of the labyrinth for many years to come, thanks to the Gravelrings gravel mat hidden below.
