Benefits of Decorative Rock

Rock offers several practical and visual advantages that make it a popular alternative to mulch or pine straw. Decorative rock helps:

Reduce the need for frequent bed refreshes
Prevent erosion during heavy rain
Improve drainage in problem areas
Suppress weed growth with proper installation
Provide long lasting color and texture
Give landscape beds a crisp, defined appearance

Rock is especially useful in areas with strong sun exposure or where mulch tends to break down quickly.
