Level the Rock

We won’t let anyone get a twisted ankle on our watch. To prevent injuries, we check if your ground is level to make sure the rocks are steady and even before rock installation. We do this so rocks won’t topple or wobble when people are walking near or around them.

Create an Overflow Area

An overflow area is a space that acts as a buffer between you and potential misplaced rocks. Over time and weather, rocks will erode and pebbles will be swept away. An overflow area gives a space for debris to fall without getting the way of people, pets, and lawnmowers.

Rock Installation as a Mulch Alternative

Mulch Alternative

Consider switching out your wood mulch for rocks. The primary benefit of using rock over wood is water loss prevention. Due to the shade that rocks provide, it lowers the temperature of the soil underneath. Without the extra heat, water does not evaporate as easily. The shade will also keep your plants’ roots cool, which is especially helpful in the Florida heat. By substituting rocks for mulch, your plants will thrive with the soil’s increased water retention.

Rock Installation to Protect Plants

Protect Plants

Whether and wherever you decide to use rocks in your landscaping, one way you can use rocks in your landscaping is to protect your plants. Rocks are a natural deterrent from animals, bugs, and any other critters that want to cause your plants harm. Adding rocky cover to your garden can also reduce weeds. The shade of the rocks block sunlight from penetrating through which can reduce your weed growth. Rock installation can also protect your plants from the elements. Due to their solid and sturdy nature, rocks can also prevent soil erosion and block out wind.

Types of Rocks for Rock Installation

There are many types of rocks available to decorate your landscape. Choosing the right one depends on the function and aesthetic you have in mind for your project. Below we have compiled a detailed list of the wide variety of options you can choose from.

Granite

A versatile rock, granite is available in crushed and decomposed forms. Depending on your project, crushed granite might be more durable, but decomposed form is cheaper. For pathways or other walkways granite is a great choice. The natural colors of dark gray, tan, or brown make these rocks best for natural landscapes.

Pebbles

The small size of pebbles is their standout feature. They can make a suitable mulch substitute for flower beds and can easily fill divots or eroded areas to provide evenness. Another key feature to note is the various colors of pebbles. The natural tones of beach pebbles add warmth. But for bold contrast try completely black or bright white pebbles.

River rocks

These smooth stones are a perfect choice for those looking for a calming, tranquil landscape. They are available in a variety of natural colors and sizes. As the name suggests, these are a great option for any water feature. You can also use river rocks as a mulch alternative.

Gravel

Gravel is a very common landscaping additive. To maximize water conservation, alternate gravel with larger rocks. Gravel is also a good choice for drought resistant plants and coastal gardens. A popular type of gravel for keeping intruders at bay is pea gravel. Due to its small size, you’re bound to hear the gravel slip under someone’s feet if they try to sneak in.Pea gravel is also inexpensive and available in different colors.

Limestone

These rocks are not only good for decorating landscaping, but also good for soil too as they deteriorate. Limestone neutralizes acid, so as it decomposes it can raise your soil’s pH level. This could improve soil structure and help maintain plant health. Limestone is also primarily composed of calcium. As it deteriorates, your soil will absorb the calcium and strengthen your plants’ cell walls. In crushed form, it is one of the most versatile rocks in construction and landscaping.
