5 Things You Must Know About Landscaping With Rocks

Are you all into yard work and landscaping around your home? Hey, it's okay if you are. You're definitely not alone in this. Just take a gander at Middle America. Heck, just take a look at my neighborhood. Could these folks mow their lawns anymore than they already do? I think once a week is sufficient. Yes indeed, many individuals and family are big into landscaping. Whether they're putting in a garden, planting oodles of pretty flowers, building a row of trees for privacy or landscaping with rocks, there seems to be no end to it all. Personally I can barely keep the yard mowed. But we'll just keep that on the down-low.

When it comes to landscaping with rocks, I know a little more than most probably care to know. You see, I grew up in rural Iowa. We had a house way out in the middle of nowhere. This is why I laugh when folks tell me that they're from a small town of 10,000 or so. Ha, that's nothing! There were less than 1,500 people in my town. Now that's tiny. Actually it's kind of sad when I really think about it. Anyway, back to the landscaping with rocks spiel. We lived out in the boonies, right next to the Turkey River. And no I didn't make that name up; it really is a river that runs into the Mississippi. Yeah, we had a 15 acre spread of farmland and trees. One fine summer day, my father informed my brother and me that we were going to be landscaping with rocks all day long. Dear God I wanted this to be a joke. However, it was not a joke. We were told to head down to the river and fetch rock slabs and carry them back up to the house. Yikes, this was going to be a major hassle. Now, don't forget that I was only 14 at the time. Anyway, we started running after the rock slabs. We slowly dragged plenty of them up from the river after hours and hours of hauling. My father and step-mother were consistently landscaping with rocks near the mailbox. They were basically building a wall in a hill of grass, which looked amazing when they were finished. I guess landscaping with rocks can have some awesome results if you know what you're doing.
