Professional landscaping makes your home more visually appealing, and decorative rocks can add a unique touch. These materials can be used to create walkways and distinct beds for your plants, elevating the landscape design. You might be surprised to learn about the range of options available if you decide to add stone to your garden. Below are some eye-catching varieties to consider.

Popular Landscaping Stones for Your Home

1. Brick Chips

If you love the bright accent red mulch provides and wish the color lasted longer, brick chips provide an effective alternative to wood. Their unique terra cotta color has a mix deep reds and browns that will call attention to your landscaping. The product holds moisture very well for the plants, and it won’t rot, fade, or attract insects.

2. Decomposed Granite

Commonly referred to as DG, decomposed granite offers a soft, rustic look for your yard. It has a reddish-tan color at first, and it fades to a light tan after prolonged sun exposure. The neutral hue makes it ideal for walkways or patios, no matter what color your house is. It’s an especially popular option due to its price and availability.

3. Lava Rocks

LandscapingThese stones are light and porous and provide a unique flourish to your landscaping because of their irregular organic shapes. You can get them in red or black hues depending on your personal preferences. Since lava is naturally porous, the material offers good drainage, especially for driveways, gardens, and paths.

4. River Rocks

If you prefer a stone that is natural, yet smooth and contemporary, add river rocks to your landscaping. These oversized stones are ideal for borders between plant beds or between walkways and lawns. They also allow for sufficient drainage in areas with heavy rain, minimizing the risk of deep puddles or flooding.

5. Pea Gravel

Pea gravel is popular because it is so versatile. These small rocks can come in a wide variety of colors and sizes under 1 inch in diameter and can be used to fill beds, cover a driveway, or fill spaces between stone pavers. Since gravel can be packed densely, it’s also effective at combating weed growth throughout the property.
