Landscaping Rock Installation Tips
Proper Site Preparation
Before installing decorative landscaping rock, it’s crucial to prepare your site thoroughly. Start by removing all grass, weeds, debris, and existing vegetation from the area. The idea is to dig about three inches deep to ensure you start with a clean slate. After clearing the area, thoroughly tamp down the soil to prevent future settling. This preparation creates a stable foundation for your rock installation, reducing the need for maintenance and ensuring a long-lasting, attractive result.
Install Landscaping Fabric
Installing landscape fabric beneath your decorative rocks is a vital step often overlooked. Cut and lay down landscape fabric over the prepared area, overlapping the edges by 3 to 6 inches and securing it with U-shaped garden staples. This barrier serves two important purposes: it prevents weeds from growing through the rocks and reduces erosion that could cause the stones to sink into the soil over time. By using landscape fabric, you’ll maintain a cleaner, more stable rock installation that requires less upkeep.
Rock Placement & Leveling
Once you’ve laid your decorative rocks, take the time to distribute and level them properly. Use a rake to spread the rocks evenly across the prepared area. Then, kneel down and inspect the surface from different angles to identify any peaks or valleys. Correct these inconsistencies with your rake to achieve a smooth, even surface. This attention to detail in the final stages of installation ensures a professional-looking result that enhances your landscape’s overall appearance and functionality.
