Landscape Design with Rocks

Designing your Garden with a large rock element is a simple way to create a focal point.

The more knarly the shape, the bigger the holes and using large scale can add a unique natural element to your garden.

Color differences can be attractive and add interest if you can find.

Larger shape and scale are a landscaping factor, as too small rock display will get hidden or over grown by future tree and plant growth.
