Rock Installation

Transforming your landscape with rock is a surprisingly meticulous process! First, we'll excavate the designated area,ensuring proper depth to prevent weed growth and create a stable base. Depending on the application (pathway, garden bed border, etc.), a weed barrier might be installed. Next, we'll add a layer of crushed gravel to create a level and well-draining foundation. Finally, the star of the show - the rocks! We'll meticulously place and spread the chosen rock type to achieve your desired look, ensuring proper coverage and a natural aesthetic. This thoughtful approach ensures your rock installation not only looks beautiful but also functions effectively for years to come.
