Using landscape rocks and other types of stones can add beauty and style to your property. You may have considered this option but aren’t sure how to get started. Here are a few tips for using stones and rocks to enhance your property’s visual appeal.

4 Ways to Use Stones & Landscape Rocks on Your Property

1. Ditch the Mulch

When you replace your mulch with decorative gravel or stones, you’ll reap several benefits. You won’t have to replace the mulch year after year, since stones can be left in place indefinitely. White stones will reflect the sunlight, adding a lighter contrast to the plants in your garden or flowerbed.

2. Build a Rock Garden

Select a sunny part of your yard to create your rock garden. You can begin by choosing a larger boulder as a centerpiece. Once it’s in place, choose some plants or flowers to surround the rock and lay crushed stone around the newly planted flowers. As you lay the stones, be careful to allow room for the plants to grow.

3. Create a Stone Path or Walkway 

You can use flat stones to create a walkway that goes from your patio to a grilling area, shed, or other points of interest. Larger stones can be set in place easily, but you can use smaller stones and concrete for a more durable walkway. There are stones that come in all shapes and colors, allowing you to be creative when designing your path.

4. Build a Wall or Border

You can also use landscape rocks to build small walls or borders to separate your lawn from a pond, fire pit, or garden. This is an effective way to outline a winding path or sidewalk, so it can easily be seen from a distance. Stone borders can be built to any desired height, and you can paint the rocks to match a specific color scheme. The type of border you create will depend on the size and shape of the rocks you choose.
