Does Easihold Affect the Natural Look of Your Stones or Mulch?
When using a binder like Easihold to stabilise decorative stones or mulch, one of the most common questions we’re asked is whether it changes the appearance of the surface. If you're aiming to preserve the natural look of your outdoor space, this is an important consideration.
In this blog, we’ll answer the question: Does Easihold change the colour of stones or mulch? — and explain what to expect after the application.
Easihold Enhances Natural Tones, Not Colour
Easihold does not permanently change the colour of your stones or mulch. Instead, it adds a slight protective sheen that helps to enhance the natural tonalities already present in your decorative material.
Rather than altering the colour, Easihold works by gently enriching the surface appearance, much like how stones look slightly deeper in tone when wet. This subtle enhancement can actually improve the overall finish, helping colours appear more defined and vibrant.
The Sheen Fades Over Time
The initial sheen created by Easihold is temporary. Over time, this surface gloss gradually fades, leaving behind a more natural matte finish while still keeping the stones locked in place. Even as the visual enhancement softens, the product continues to perform its stabilising role.
This progression ensures that your decorative gravel or mulch remains authentic in appearance, while benefiting from Easihold’s long-lasting support and reduced maintenance.
