When you hear the word “yard”, what first comes to mind? Most people think of a large space of green grass, but today there are many landscaping options homeowners can use to break the mold.
Keep reading to learn a few ways residential rock installation can add texture and contrast to your property.
- Rock Gardens- A rock garden is a bed of rocks or pebbles surrounded by an edging material such as plastic or brick. In some cases, an adhesive is used to ensure durability. This type of residential rock installation is perfect for homeowners who want a low-maintenance alternative to lawn care. These gardens add a sleek look to any home exterior, and there are a variety of colors to choose from. Use rocks in place of mulch around shrubbery, or xeriscape your entire yard.
- Retention Walls- Retention walls serve an essential function on your property: preventing soil erosion. That being said, there’s no reason they can’t also be stylish. When planning this type of residential rock installation project, consider using materials like brick or natural stone to make a statement and add curb appeal.
- Stone Pathways- If the residential rock installation projects mentioned above sound too involved, a simpler option is to lay a stone pathway. Most often, a pathway is used to connect the driveway or sidewalk to the front door, but another option is to use pathways to make zones in your yard. They are great around water features, patios, and high-traffic areas. Stone pathways work well as accent pieces and enhance the natural beauty of your home.
