Are you living in drought-stricken areas? Are you planning to create your own drought-resistant garden? Large natural rocks and boulders are versatile elements available to improve the look of your new garden. In fact, you can use rocks and stones in every garden regardless of where you are. They add texture and contrast while providing a durable ground cover that requires very little maintenance. And it’s easy to search for garden rocks for sale at your local garden and landscape store.
Plants in a rock garden
While the overall effect of a rock garden with all those rocks and boulders may be rough, achieving an arranged garden effect needs some planning. A rock garden is by no means a result of chance and just tossing some rocks around with some plants. So, firstly, you need to pick plants for your garden that fit well with the boulders while being drought resistant. Consider getting creeping plants, tiny bulbs, and succulents. You can also search for shrubs that do well without much water. If you can, fill your rock garden with cacti.
Size of your rocks
The beauty of a rock garden is the contrast of sizes. You can have a few boulders and large rocks as the primary foreground while complimenting the background with other rocks and pebbles. You can also experiment with rocks of the same size for more uniformity.
Flank your entrance
You can make a lasting impression by flanking your entrance with boulders. Place large rocks on each side of the entry to your driveway or yard for maximum effect. Make sure to bury the rocks partially into the ground to have a natural look. The larger the rocks flanking the driveway, the more dramatic the impact.
Surround large rocks with gravel
A variety of different rock sizes is attractive as well as functional. Small rocks and gravel can surround larger rocks to prevent them from shifting out of place.
Group large rocks in clusters
Group several large rocks or boulders in a cluster. You can also create a rock wall or use the large rocks to create a natural fountain area. Within the rock gaps, you can plant creeping plants or shrubs for a more brilliant effect.
