When most people think of landscaping, living materials like trees, flowers, and shrubs come to mind. While plants are a major part of landscaping, they’re not the only option available. At Yosemite Irrigation and Landscaping, Inc., we offer rock landscaping services, a unique branch of traditional landscaping that offers a range of benefits, from low maintenance to striking aesthetics, by relying heavily on the use of rock and rock formations installed alongside or in place of living materials.
Here are just a few of the amazing benefits that come with incorporating rock landscaping into your property.
- Minimized Maintenance – If you’re constantly bemoaning your “brown thumb” and struggle to keep plants alive, rock landscaping offers a great opportunity to add visual interest to your property without the risk of killing your investment. Rocks don’t need watering, fertilizing, or pruning – once they’re in place, they’ll look great for years with little to no effort on your part.
- Desirable Durability – Even if you’re not a serial plant killer, rock landscaping is a fantastic option if you’re looking for landscaping that will stand the test of time and weather. Rocks don’t degrade or die, and they retain their appearance even through the most inclement of weather.
- Crucial Conservation – Since rocks don’t need to be watered, adding rock landscaping is a great way to contribute to water conservation efforts. It’s a sustainable choice that won’t wither when your area is hit by a drought.
- Wonderful Weed Control – Well-installed rock landscaping makes an excellent weed suppressant, keeping pesky invaders from springing up and spreading. This helps reduce the need for herbicides and also keeps you from having to manually weed.
- Substantial Savings – Although the initial investment in rock landscaping can be significant, you can expect long-term savings on things like fertilizers, herbicides, pruning, water usage, and replacement of living materials. All those different savings can quickly add up to a major boon for your wallet.
These are just a few of the numerous advantages that adding rock landscaping to your property can bring. Reach out to our team today to learn more or get started on a quote for rock landscaping at your home or business.
