Rock Your Summer

2015-06-09

Your home is where you go to relax at the end of a long, stressful day. You probably like to spend time in your yard as well. With the seasons in Minnesota being what they are, you really have to take advantage of the time you have to be outdoors. There is only so much time before the snow and ice buries your yard entirely for months on end. When you're proud of the way your yard looks, you naturally want to spend more time outside with your family.

Consider Landscaping Your Yard with Rock
Adding landscaping rock to your yard provides it with a durable surface that is aesthetically pleasing at the same time. While a rock design may appear simple, installing it is another story. It is a labor-intensive job that requires a professional landscaping crew. At The Lawnsmith, we are prepared to handle your rock installation job from start to finish. This includes removing old rock if necessary, preparing the material for new rock beds, and replenishing rock in existing rock beds. You can choose your rock from a variety of sizes, shapes, colors, and textures.

Ideas to Incorporate Landscaping Rock
Deciding to add rock to the landscape in your yard is usually an easy and straightforward decision. It's deciding on a specific design that can pose challenges. This is where the design team at The Lawnsmith shines. Some of the possibilities for your home include:

  • Creating a waterfall from rocks and then enclosing the water that escapes from it with matching rock.
  • Incorporating stone into one or more of your outdoor features, such as a pizza oven or fireplace.
  • Building a rock garden, which is especially useful for yards that are built on a slope.
  • Installing a stone retaining wall and a flowerbed near the stairs leading to the inside of your home.
