If you’re looking for a way to add natural beauty to your landscaping, look no farther than rocks. Rocks are versatile, low-maintenance, and beautiful. Here are five creative ways to use landscaping rocks in your yard or garden this year.

How to Use Landscaping Rocks

1. Address Marker

Having your house numbers engraved into a large rock is a classic way of marking a house or driveway. Opt for a naturally shaped rock or go with a stone cut into a rectangle or square.

2. Stone Walls

Stone walls prevent erosion and fence off yards and garden zones. Garden stone, creek stone, and fieldstone all work well for retaining walls. They come in different color and size options so you can easily customize their look and feel.

3. Flower Bed Borders

Large boulders or edger rocks work well for bordering flower beds or shrubs. They not only give beds visual interest but also provide seating. You can find them in various shades that will complement the color and style of your house.

4. Paths

Flat stones can transform a walkway into an art piece. Smooth flagstone is an excellent choice for creating one-of-a-kind paths. Landscapers can fill the gaps between natural stones in a path with mortar or gravel.

5. Steps

Use rectangular-shaped ledge rock and large boulders with flat tops and bottoms to build steps. They can be broad or narrow and effortlessly blend in with other aspects of your landscape design wherever you have a change in elevation.
