A rock garden is a creative
and beautiful solution for difficult problem
areas in your yard or landscaping. Rock gardens
are particularly useful on hillsides that are
difficult to mow or in small, hot spaces where
most plants struggle to survive; however, you
can build a rock garden anywhere! The rocks
provide structure and interest, and the spaces
between them can be planted with succulents,
heat-tolerant perennials, or small shrubs. Any
exposed soil surface is mulched or covered with
deep gravel to inhibit weeds. |

Confronted with a problem
weed bed between a driveway and a sidewalk, we
built a simple rock garden to solve the problem.

Every rock garden is a unique
work of art -- no two are alike! |

Rock gardens can be as small
or as large as you like. They are planted with
perennials and perhaps a few small shrubs if the
garden is big enough. Keep in mind that the main
idea with a rock garden is to see the rocks, so
consider the mature size of your plants and
don't overplant it! We always save the most
colorful and unique rock specimens to use as
accents. |
