Spend Less Money & Time on Maintenance
Water continues to become an increasingly precious resource in many communities. People who use landscaping rocks, such as pure gold pebbles and polished black river rock, typically notice a marked decrease in their water bills because they won’t have to use as much to keep grass green. You’ll also save time on hand watering areas where sprinklers won’t reach, and you don’t have to mow decorative rocks. This gives you more time to enjoy your outdoor space rather than spending time and money to keep it up.
Avoid Having to Replace Grass
Many types of grass require replacing or reseeding at the beginning of the spring season. Depending on where you live, this could be a year-round challenge. With decorative rocks, you put them down once, and you can expect them to last for many years. If you place them correctly, they should also experience minimal shifting.
Lower the Risk of Fire Damage
Fire mitigation is important if you live in a dry climate or an area that’s prone to wildfires. Replacing grass with decorative rocks around the perimeter of your house or commercial building can prevent fires from spreading on your property. They work great around outdoor kitchens and fire pits where you may have concerns about sparks hitting dry grass. You can also use decorative rocks to improve drainage on your property, which can prevent flooding during major rainstorms.
Prevent Soil Erosion
If your property currently just has dirt or mulch in certain areas, you may have already noticed a problem with soil erosion. Decorative rocks weigh the soil down and keep it from moving out of place. This can decrease water runoff from neighboring properties and maintain level ground in areas you want to enhance with decorative plants. Since decorative rocks can serve as a mulch replacement, you can still enjoy the benefits of keeping plants warm during the winter and retaining moisture in the ground around them.
Create Unique Outdoor Enhancements
Landscaping rocks come in many different colors and sizes, from Mexican gray river rock to black polished pebbles, so they’re perfect for creating any design you can think of. You could use the decorative rocks to create a special seating area for your lawn furniture, or you might choose to use the decorative rocks to design a natural-looking water feature. Decorative rocks are also great for filling in walkways. When you consider the versatility of decorative rocks, you can see the value of being able to create any look you want to improve the curb appeal of your property.
