Many landscape designers choose landscaping rocks for a visual interest in a garden. Rocks come in a wide choice of shapes and sizes, colors and styles. Often rocks are naturally present and already available at a landscaping site. These could comprise of outcroppings and large rock formations which are not feasible to remove and which a landscape designer has to work around to the best advantage. Many designers prefer to leave the rocks in situ following a more holistic approach. Using native rocks shows respect for local environment. Landscaping rocks are also commercially available fully prepared, cut and polished while others can be bought natural and untouched.
Landscaping rocks are often used for more practical applications like creating a low wall, barrier or retention wall. They can also be used to line garden paths and flower beds, outline geometric patterns and for numerous varied applications governed by the ingenuity of the landscape designer. Using rocks is not merely for aesthetic reasons. Rocks enhance the water-efficiency of a garden by offering shelter and retaining it in the soil rather than allowing it to evaporate. Rocks are often a natural way to keep weeds under control.
