Landscaping Ideas: Using Landscaping Rock for Maximum Effect
Looking to give you yard some something special to set it apart
from those in the rest of your neighborhood? Want to add some
depth and texture to your landscaping design? Landscaping rock
comes in many different forms, is inexpensive, and used
sparingly, give a garden a warm, natural look.
Not only is there a good selection of colors, landscaping rock
comes in different kinds of stone to choose among, from
limestone to slate to granite. Different landscaping designs
call for different types of landscaping rock, obviously, but
given all the choices it is easy to get just the right rock.
If you are landscaping a new property, when you first clear the
ground and rototill the soil for your yard, you'll no doubt find
a few choice rocks you wish you hadn't. Don't have them hauled
way; these can be set aside and used in your landscaping. It
could save you time and expense later on. The trick to using
rock in landscaping effectively, as with any form of
hardscaping, is to completely incorporate them into your yard's
design. Locate them in places that will add to the yard, not
where it looks like you are trying to cover something up or take
attention away from another part of the yard. Plan just where
each landscaping rock should be placed for maximum effect and
balance.
Take the time to bury your rock and it will
improve it's look,
making them appear planted. They will integrate better into the
overall design and look as if this is where they belong.
How far you bury your rock in the ground will depend upon the
landscaping rock that you select. If you have a very large piece
of rock then it should be buried deeper than a smaller
landscaping rock. Four to six inches is a good depth for a
medium size rock. Dig a shallow hole about the size of your
landscaping rock and place the rock into it. Use common sense
here and get help lifting it. If it is a larger piece, you may
need to rent lifting equipment or hire a contractor for this
part. Finally tuck back the dirt into the gap around the rock.
Next time that you are out walking or hiking in the woods, keep
an eye out for larger rocks and boulders. Look at how they
naturally sit in the ground and you'll see what kind of a look
the landscaping rock in your yard should have. This is the kind
of detail that will set your yard off from the rest of your
neighbors.
