Give Your Yard the Edge With Landscaping Rocks

Pine needles and woods chips look great, especially when they’re first put down, but they’re not the only game in town. Welcome guests to your home with the help of landscaping rock. Landscaping rocks are equally stunning and they don’t require much upkeep, unlike pine straw or wood chips, both of which tend to fade and look dull and old after a little time in the elements. Here, landscaping rocks complement and break up the dark tones of the chips and grass while adding neutrality alongside the walkway to the porch.

Good things come in small packages. Tiny succulents in tiny containers dotted around the yard in unexpected spaces can be charming and whimsical. Fill the pots with landscape rocks. Be creative with the rocks, the pots and the succulents. Be wild. Do something different and unexpected. Be bold. Be daring.
