Rocks are attractive in landscaping features because they are low maintenance and look great when placed where grass and other plants won’t grow. Landscaping has many uses for rocks. And the choice is extensive:
Decorative Rocks
Decorative landscape rocks can be used for walkways, edging, covering perennial flower beds, and complementing the prominent landscaping features with which you work.
A few popular types of decorative rocks include:
- Limestone
- Pea Gravel
- Rainbow Rock
Large Feature Landscape Rocks and Boulders
More significant landscaping projects can use larger rocks, like waterfalls and other water features. A few options that are available when it comes to larger rocks and boulders include:
- Granite
- Limestone
- Quartz
- Large rocks and granite balls with pre-drilled holes for water fountains
Flagstone and Rock Steps
Flagstone is a natural rock that comes in different colours. These rocks are generally flat and more significant than decorative rocks. Rock walls, paths, and patios frequently use flagstone. Some options that shoppers have when it comes to flagstone are:
- Flagstone cut into tile
- Natural, uncut flagstone
- Thick or thin flagstone
Finding the rocks for your landscaping project can be hard when so much variety is available. What type of rock will be best for your purpose? What about shipping and moving around big rocks and boulders?
