Raised Decorative Rock Garden
You can place this feature in your front or backyard, giving the atmosphere a little charm and classic style. This layout is ideal for small spaces. However, if space isn’t an issue, you could install a raised garden throughout a large portion of the yard. You need to expand the frame of the garden with decorative rocks and stones and then fill it with a combination of soil or leaf mold. To spruce it up, you can add plants or other features. If you use a variety of colors and sizes of decorative rocks, such as white pebble rock, landscaping with a raised decorative rock garden can be as fun and creative as your imagination will allow.
A raised decorative rock garden is excellent if your area is wet or has nutrient-poor soil. Expanding the garden also lowers challenges for those with limited mobility, as it reduces the need to bend and move around.
In-Ground Rows
If adding texture and diversity to the yard is your plan, consider an in-ground layout. The plants will be in the ground, but the decorative rocks and flowers will be placed around the trees based on your preferences.
Although this is a traditional design, you can spruce the feature up with different shades of plants and colors of decorative rocks, stones, and beach pebbles, from gleaming gold to elegant black polished pebbles. Vary the height and sizes of the beach pebbles and plants, placing them from largest to smallest when installing the in-ground rows.
Boulder & Slab Gardens
The boulder stone layout is an excellent choice if you have a wide path up to your doorway or space near the driveway. You can place oversized decorative rocks between a variety of plants. These are more common around the driveway and offer visual appeal for neighbors and visitors to take in.
Placing a blend of salvia, sedum, and thyme around your oversized stones is perfect for a more informal look. Based on the space, you can add smaller boulder and slab options. The objective of this layout is to create an inviting entrance to the property
Gravel Layout
Many gardeners choose this option to spruce up their yards without a lot of hassle or expense. You need to plant a small garden by choosing the style of stones or beach pebbles you want to add and spread them in a large squared-off space near a fence, a window, or the sidewalk. Make sure to monitor the decorative rocks to prevent them from rolling into other areas of the yard or into the street.
