Rock gardens are a great and creative way to add unique shapes and textures to a garden landscape while giving it a natural feel! The combination of rocks, plants and flowers is an inexpensive way to enhance the beauty of your rock garden design. To maximize your rock garden, there are four aspects to evaluate; drainage, sunlight exposure, existing house exterior design and trees and flower beds.
Be unique by combining flowers and rocks into your own rock garden!
Drainage
Rock garden design requires a location that has good drainage. Areas that are slightly raised (like slopes) are perfect for designing attractive rock gardens. Plants may not thrive and/or rot in areas that stay wet for too long!
Sunlight Exposure
Sunlight exposure is usually critical for most plants and flowers although some plants grow well in shade. If your backyard or front yard has bright and shady areas, it is a great idea to design few different rock gardens.
Existing House Exterior Design
A large rock, brick and stone wall look beautiful, natural and enhance the visual appeal of a rock garden design. A good rock garden design requires an attractive background that you can add. A natural rock garden can be created without it. Need some inspiration? Here’s 20 Rock Garden Design Ideas!
