The Designer Gardens

Not every landscape is perfect and having a rock garden can help in many of those areas. Your yard might have an area that’s doesn’t get much sun, or that is too dry.

Or you might have a yard that’s swampy because there’s too much rain in your area. Rock gardens are the answer to these problems in your yard, plus they need little care.

Good planning can help any novice to rock gardens, but sometimes a professional’s opinion can be the difference between ordinary and magnificent. If your area is very rocky, you are free to remove the excess rocks and design the rest into an attractive pattern.

Adding some shallow rooted plants can help break up a large, rocky area with some green. If your area is just overflowing with rocks, you can border it off by using plants or wood.

Slopes on your land can cause erosion. A rock garden when positioned correctly can prevent erosion, plus it looks good. Bringing in rocks indigenous to your area will give the illusion that the garden is more natural.

If you have an area is too dry, then that’s just perfect for a rock garden, especially the Japanese rock garden. This kind of a garden uses sand and rocks to put patterns into the ground and if you have an extremely dry climate, this will look intentional despite having a bad spot in your yard. There are those who think that Zen gardens are the same as Japanese rock gardens, but it isn’t so.

For rock gardens in shady areas, you can have plants that don’t need much sun exposure. Your rock garden plants can be those that thrive in the shade in place of those plants that can grow naturally in rocky areas. This is one way of making your garden unique.

No matter what your land is like you can always benefit from a rock garden. Is your land area quite big? Let’s examine mowing. If you have some of your vast land mass broken up by rock gardens, then it would decrease the amount of mowing you have to do but at the same time would make your land more beautiful.

Having rock gardens and such on your land gives you a better chance to care for your land. You can also have other additions to your lawn that would complement your rock garden.

Finally, do you remember pointillism from art class? Artists would use tiny dots made with brush strokes to make large pictures, as in works by Georges Seruat. He painted with a lot of dots in his paintings, and you could do the same with a lot of stones. Make your lawn an art gallery of rock garden paintings.

Eat high protein foods to build muscle and look your absolute best. And don’t forget the high fiber foods for maintaining optimum health.
