If your yard isn't professionally landscaped then you are missing out on the opportunity to turn it into a living, stylish, and welcoming masterpiece. You are also missing out on the chance to enhance your home's curb appeal, increase your home's worth, and turn your home into something you can be proud of. There are a lot of materials that can be used in the landscaping and just one of them is decorative rocks. Here are some examples of how decorative rocks can be used to create special touches:
Have a beautiful yard created with decorative gravel instead of grass
You have the option of using decorative gravel instead of grass. There are a lot of different reasons why people decide to go with gravel over grass. One reason is that they live in a very hot and dry region where it's just too much work to keep grass alive. Another reason is that they don't want to have a yard that requires regular maintenance such as regular watering, mowing, raking, and weeding. Some people want to create a look that can only be achieved with decorative gravel and rock, such as a desert-scape that includes cactus, rock sculptures, and more.
Have a yard that people won't want to walk through
If you are tired of having different people cut through—and thus kill—the grass in your yard, then something you can do is have the grass removed and have landscaping created that uses decorative gravel instead. Once there is gravel to walk through, you may find that fewer people want to walk through your yard. Also, even if some people do continue to walk through the yard, it may not bother you as much because it won't result in damage to the grass since there isn't any grass to be damaged.
Use decorative rock to accent special areas
You can use decorative rock as a way to further enhance the look of special areas in your yard. One example of how you can do this is to use decorative rocks to create borders around the trunks of trees. You can also use them to create nice borders around the flower beds in the yard. Decorative rocks can also be used to create scenes in a yard. For example, different colored rocks can be used to create the look of a pond or stream in the yard.

My name is Debbie Greenberg. I’m a single woman who owns her home, and like most homeowners I dread home repairs. I’m not very handy with do-it-yourself projects around the house. I can do a few minor repairs when necessary, but for the most part I have to call in a professional. Last year I had a leak in my roof. When it rained, water would leak into my kitchen. What appeared to be a simple fix turned out to be anything but simple. It took over four months to finally identify the problem, and double the money I was initially quoted to fix it. The problem ended up being that the flat part of my roof didn't have shingles, but a sheeting material. I learned a bit about home roofs along the way, and that is what I want to share with you.
