Never Met a Patch of White Gravel They Couldn't Admire

A while ago, I noticed that Facebook sometimes showed me "garden"-related posts that looked like this:

They were intermittent, and mixed into a lot of other dross, so it took a while but at some point I realized they were generally coming from the same source, called Garden Decor Ideas. So I went to see what other great gardening ideas they had to offer.

You may not be surprised that the vast majority of their garden ideas involve a lot of white rocks, turf grass, hardscape, and not a lot of flowering plants that make any kind of a mess.

Looking at the neighboring roof lines and the limited sizes of the back yards, I believe this promoter must be in the UK. I don't know if this look is popular there, but it's not what I have in mind when I think of English gardens.
