Rock Your Yard
Rock Beds Are a Low Maintenance Way To Add Depth And Beauty To Any Garden
Adding rock to your plant beds can help you improve the look of your lawn and home. Rock beds can be used as a natural barrier against runoff, soil erosion, improve overall home value, and can also up your curb appeal. At Green Blades Lawn, we like to think that adding rock to your landscaping is one of the simplest ways to improve the look of your overall landscaping.
Fighting erosion and run off?
Rock is a rock star when it comes to erosion. Rock and stone serves as a natural barrier against runoff and soil erosion. When heavy rains, snowmelt and wind cut down on the health of your lawn, ground cover helps to prevent damage to the soil by absorbing and distributing the excess water. Rock is great for landscaping because it doesn’t hold water so you don’t have to worry about mosquitos breeding in the standing water of your plant beds after a torrential Georgia rain.
Rock is a cost effective way to provide life to your homes landscaping.
Rock is more durable than mulch and won't blow or wash away as quickly, so you won't have to replace your ground cover as often. This makes the year-to-year upkeep costs much lower than if you chose mulch. From the beginning of spring to the end of fall, rock also doesn't fade or discolor, or require any upkeep. It stays the same year after year, while mulch and pine straw need to be refreshed or replaced every season. All in all the initial cost might be slightly higher but the life time cost is far less.
Rock is one of the most attractive coverings for your plant beds, providing a natural, homey look that improves the value of your property. Rock not only is great looking but it also can improve your home value.
Rock as part of your landscaping plan can give your lawn a look that's all its own, it is a great way to add color and texture to your lawn. It also provides an attractive border between your lawn and other areas of the yard, so it helps give the space more definition. When choosing a rock, you have many types to choose from. If you think that all rocks are white, think again! Here is a list of some various types of landscaping rock available for your home.
