Black Mexican Beach Pebbles - Landscaping
Category Landscape Rocks
Whether you’re installing decorative rocks, beach pebbles, or stones in a garden, around a water feature, or in areas near your mailbox or driveway, the job can be challenging without a good plan. However, the landscaping work is necessary to keep the area dry and beautify your yard. The following hacks can give you some practical techniques to use now and in the future while setting the perfect tone in your garden or backyard with decorative rocks.

1. Install a River Rock Border

Save money on installation by creating a river rock border in your yard. A barrier made with gold, white, or polished black river rock is much easier to take apart and put together, which means you can replace it as often as possible for less money—a huge benefit if your landscaping budget increases in the future. In addition to saving money with river rock, you’ll have a wealth of opportunities to get creative with your design and add beauty and drama to any area of your landscape.

2. Don’t Dig Too Far Down

Some people make the mistake of digging a large area without considering how many decorative rocks or beach pebbles they plan to place in their yards. If you’re using stones, keep them nearby as a reminder while you’re digging to prevent yourself from going too deep. While you could always purchase more Mexican beach pebbles and decorative rock to fill the hole in your yard or garden, this can be costly, and the option isn’t as simple for larger stones. If you have smaller items, such as toy sand buckets or cooking containers you no longer use, set these objects in the ground as markers when you’re digging.

3. Use Newspaper to Stop Weed Growth

As beautiful as decorative rocks, beach pebbles, and stones are, weeds growing around them can make your landscape look unkempt and less appealing. Getting out and pulling the weeds consistently may not be possible due to your schedule and other commitments, and hiring someone for this job may not be within your budget, which is why you should use newspaper to stop weed growth. With this hack, you’ll need to lay the newspaper down before pouring in the beach pebbles and decorative rocks. Over time, you’ll see fewer weeds and be able to maintain your yard or garden with more ease. In addition to old newspapers, another option would be to use landscaping fabric.

4. Add a Little Water

Before placing the decorative rocks and stones down, you should rinse them with water. Even though decorative rocks come ready to be installed, a little moisture could bring out the natural beauty of your beach pebbles and river rocks. All you need is a small amount of water to wash away the dust and dirt. This is a tip you should also use when maintaining your landscape after the stones are placed. Frequently rinsing your decorative rocks can make them look better and give your garden a fresher appearance.
