Try these beautiful-looking rock beds around your house to improve the overall curb appeal.
Most ideas are low maintenance but some ideas may need some weekly weed cleaning Do not worry, I will point those out.
These ideas do not cost too much to set up. So choose the design that fits your yard, not the one you like the most. Here we go.
1. Build a Rocky Drain Line
Build a rocky drain in your yard like this one. Lay those river rocks and then edge them with stones to build this design.
Then add some large rocks around the design to improve the look and feel.
This is easy to set up and low maintenance. You can build it at home.
2. Build the Rock Bed with Large Rocks
Large rocks always add beauty to the yard whether you use them for landscaping or edging your garden area.
They always look good.
Place those large rocks in a sequence to create this design and let the plants grow automatically. So they look more natural.
3. Build a Stone Walkway
A stone walkway will look good in any yard. First, lay a mixture of sand and cement in your yard and then add those rocks to build this design.
I recommend hiring someone for this job as it will take a lot of effort to build.
Yes, it is low maintenance but it will cost you good money. So keep that in mind.
4. Edge with Small Rocks
Edging with large rocks is an easy task. You add some plants, add some mulch, and edge the area with rocks or stones, whatever you like.
You can also edge the bed with bricks. That will also look good in the yard.
5. Mix the Rocks with Peebles
White peebles are known to improve the curb appeal in any yard. Mix large stones or rocks with white peebles to create this design.
Make it look like a walkway and your front bed will shine.
6. Lay Gravel in Your Front Yard
Gravel also improves beauty and helps reduce dirt and weeds in the garden. So lay some gravel in your front yard and then plant some flowers along with it to build this design.
7. Add Mulch to Your Walkway
This idea is not directly connected to rock bed design, but it will be useable while designing your rock walkway.
Mulch the area well so that weeds and dirt do not have much space to grow.
Lay those stones first in the yard and then add mulch. Okay!
8. Build a Small Riverbed
Set up a small pond and lay gravel all around it to build this beautiful river rock bed.
One, it will rescue the weeds around the pond, and two, on rainy days it will shine like a river. So try it now.
9. Place Large Rocks Randomly
You may think it is not a design, and you are right. They have just placed the large rocks randomly to build this rocky bed.
You can do the same if you hate the maintenance part. Go for it.
10. Gravel the Whole Area
Build a rocky bed with tiny gravel or stones.
Lay them all over your yard and they will cover your area and help reduce the weeds.
Last Words
So these are the best rock bed ideas around the house you can set up.
Choose the one that does not need too much effort to maintain and looks nice. I wish you the best of luck.
