Edging and Decorative Rock

Using edging and decorative rock is becoming increasingly popular as a low maintenance ground cover. This how-to module will give you the information you need to install like a pro.

Hardscaping projects are the heart of your yard, but you can make them look even better.

Decorative rock and mulch beds are a great way to complete the landscape around unfinished, awkward, or challenging areas around your projects, it allows you to turn them into something creative and beautiful.

The same techniques used in this module will also help you build a rock garden. They are fairly simple and relatively cheap landscaping projects to install. (Almost free, If you have access free landscaping rocks.)

We also have a series on Landscaping Yards that can help you get started selecting materials. We visited a landscape supply yard to show you some of the products available to you. This article also has a great section on how to estimate your needs.

No matter what sizes, shapes, and colors you use, landscaping with rocks is a great addition to any dream yard. We will show you how to prepare your yard and work with landscape fabric, edging, rocks or the mulch you may choose.
