How Do You Landscape Around Porches With Rocks?
Create a rock garden around the porch to add an eye-catching and easy-care landscape feature to the front yard. Rock landscaping makes a good option in areas prone to drought or for people who prefer little or no plant care. Boulders take the place of shrubs in adding interest to the landscape. Smaller decorative rocks round out the look, working as edging for walkways, borders for the rock garden itself, and additional focal points between the boulders. Save water and labor with a no-pruning-required garden. With a few simple steps anyone can create an attractive rock garden. Plan the rock garden. Consider how much space needs to be landscaped. For example: two plots, 8 feet by 4 feet on each side of the porch. It may help to make a sketch. As a guideline, use one 2-foot in diameter (or larger) boulder per 4-foot by 4-foot area. Obtain boulders, decorative rocks and gravel for the porch area rock garden. Start with 12 decorative rocks (8 to 10 inches in diameter) per 4-foot by 4-foot
