Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)FAQ

Note: Glyphosate is a strong chemical. Read the warning label and follow the instructions carefully.

If you wanted something similar, you could install a Zen garden. The experience would help you meditate while maintaining the rocks and sand in your garden.

What Are the Benefits of Using Rock for Landscaping?

FAQs

What are the best types of rocks for landscaping?

What is the cheapest rock for landscaping?

River rocks and pea gravel are the most inexpensive rock landscaping options. Crushed granite is another budget-friendly choice, but can be more prone to erosion and may need to be replaced more often. Remember, you can save even more when buying these rocks in bulk. 

What should I put down before landscaping rock?

Before you begin landscaping with rocks, put down a weed barrier or landscape fabric to prevent pesky weeds from poking through. 

Does rock landscaping attract snakes and other critters?

Rocks are less likely to attract snakes and other critters because their prey (termites, ticks, and other insects) don’t usually inhabit this environment. However, if you have placed together rocks with large spaces in between or near a source of water, you may find a snake or an occasional chipmunk seeking shelter.

70 photos of decorative stone application

One of the most promising materials for creating a unique landscape design can safely be called natural and decorative stone. Of course, pleasure is not cheap, but the use of the immediate and public gifts of nature makes us at least a small step closer to its pristine beauty, which means it helps to bring peace and harmony to the soul, which many people lack in the crazy pace of modern life.

But how to turn ordinary stones lying around on the site into a real work of art? What kind of landscape design can be the backdrop for your creativity?

In this article you will find answers to these difficult questions, as well as some useful tips to help you create a truly unique design project.

Brief content of the article:

Where to use the stone?

In landscaping, there have long been many options for using stone to decorate areas. Almost any modern project is not complete without this kind of decor. So, with the help of stones they make out:


Of course, nothing limits your imagination here; stones can be used not only for decoration or cladding, but also as an independent element (or even the center) of the composition.

So, such projects are usually implemented through the creation of a Japanese garden or a Japanese zone on the site, because it is in the culture of this country that raw stone plays a very important role, and it is simply necessary for the garden.

How to use natural stone in the landscape?

Japanese garden is a case when you do not need to buy decorative stone or tiles, invite a designer. It will be enough to create a collage on your own (suitable photos of stones in landscape design can be found on the Internet), and then put it into practice.

The more natural there is in the selected boulders and pebbles, the more canonical the garden will turn out. It is especially worth taking a closer look at the stones of an irregular, but streamlined shape: the key to your success is the smoothness of the lines and the softness of the transitions, the absence of sharp corners.

Pebbles should be soft and light; oval, round or bean-shaped: everything in the Japanese garden speaks of softness and peace.


Another great solution would be to use natural boulders in any landscape type landscape design, because the motto here is to imitate nature in all its manifestations. This means that you do not even need to carry boulders from place to place, process them by knocking down sharp corners, clean, split or remove moss and lichen.

All these are traces of natural influence, so for a site sunk in greenery and the shade of centuries-old trees, a large century-old stone will become an excellent element of decor, visually complementing the composition and as if transferring the viewer somewhere to endless ancient and mysterious forests.

For those who like to apply their hand directly to the creation of landscape design, as well as for creative people, there is another way to decorate your site with unique creations of human imagination - this is painting garden stones.

You can create intricate designs or simply paint boulders with different colors for incredible color mixing. Special craftsmen can even create a real masterpiece by depicting a landscape or portrait on the flat side of the stone.

For these purposes, it is better to use acrylic paints or paints in spray cans: they are not washed off with water and are erased more slowly than others.


To give the design a glossy shine and fix the image, you can cover the surface of the stone with a clear varnish, but usually a design with natural wear and slightly faded colors is much more pleasing to the eye than a huge boulder glaring in the sun.

Types of stones for landscape design

Conventionally, all rocks that designers use in their work can be divided into three large groups:

Natural stone

Granite and gneiss. Graceful and aristocratic-conservative, they are used for facing pavilions, arches, fountains and buildings. Attractive here is the range of eye-pleasing shades, which allows you to choose the perfect color solution for almost any landscape model.

Basalt looks interesting in the design of the decorative elements of the composition: the range of shades varies from smoky gray to black-green.

Soft rock: sandstone, slate, limestone, which are most commonly used for paths, paths, garage or barn cladding. Such a stone in the decor looks neat and does not catch the eye.

Stones, which are clusters of crystals, give the landscape a special glamor. These rocks include marble (easy to process, unpretentious in care and making it possible to choose the right color from a huge number of known shades) and porphyry, the color range of which is expressed in various shades of red.


Tuff. It is a porous, light, sponge-like stone. It absorbs moisture well and seems to be a clear example of natural erosion - such an effect is only at hand for designers.

Artificial stone

Brick. Usually brick is used because of its cheapness, but even with proper use it can be a good addition to the composition. It is usually used in the design of paths, small empty open spaces or for decorating borders.

Concrete is less commonly used, but due to its strength it is suitable for a driveway leading to a garage or parking spaces.

Phosphorescent stone

A very special category. In the light for them, they are no different from other decorative elements and are completely invisible, but at night you will notice a bright glow.

That's why it's worth using to completely pave paths or simply decorate a curb. Also, luminous stones for the garden and landscape will fit the sides of pools, ponds and fountains.

The functional side of using stone

If we talk about the use of stones in the landscape of the site from a functional point of view, there are several main advantages:
