If you’re unsure if a rock flower bed is really right for you, then take some time to explore the pros and cons of having one over mulch.
First off, garden rock beds are highly durable. Since the stones do not decay or decompose in elements like harsh rains or snow, they last year after year without the need for replacement. Mulch, on the other hand, typically needs to be replaced annually or more, whereas natural stone could very well outlive your garden!
Second, rock flower beds offer a myriad of design options. Whether you’re wanting to select brightly colored stones to contrast darker foliage or lighter stones that emanate in the sunlight—you have a bevy of options at your fingertips. Garden rock comes in all shapes, sizes, types, colors, and varieties. You can change the exterior of your home just by selecting a strong garden rock pattern in your garden areas. Just imagine the possibilities—there are so many, you may get a headache!
Third, natural stone has a practical and scientific purpose by helping minimize erosion and keeping soil in place. While you may have to readjust stones every so often because they sink into the soil, you won’t have to worry about your garden bed eroding in harsh weather conditions. Basically, rocks give soil something to hang onto, which is very useful in heavy rains or times when there’s significant water runoff. How nice that these serve a real practical purpose as well as an aesthetic one, too.
