How Do You Landscape With River Rock?
River rock can add beauty to your landscape. Varying in size from pea gravel to boulder, river rocks add power and form the backbone of your garden. They can be used to divert water in dry creek beds, define edges in walkways, or create height and depth in ponds and waterfalls. Here is how to landscape with river rock. First, select your stone. You will need sizes from pea gravel to large pebbles, small rocks, large rocks and a few boulders. Landscaping with river rock brings the strength and beauty of nature into your yard or garden. Examine the area to be landscaped. River rock can add height and depth, divert water away from the foundation of the house to be used elsewhere in the yard, create pathways, define borders, or add interest to a dull and lifeless section of the yard. Decide what each area of the yard needs and gather or purchase your stone. Be careful with older stones if using heavy equipment to move them around. It can take years for a beautiful cover of moss to grow on
