Adding Gravel to Your Backyard Can Complement Home’s Exterior

Enjoy the following pic ideas. Don't forget to leave us a quick comment below.

And please share this post within your social networks.

  • Are you concerned about water conservation and the use of chemicals in your yard?

    Homeowners tend to look for low-maintenance ways to beautify their homes without the need for large amounts of grassy areas.

    Gravel Landscapes can be a better alternative to grass, regardless of where you live.

    Materials like pea gravel, crushed granite, and river rock can complement your landscape in a better way than grass.

Lava rock

Notes:

  • Great for Hot/Arid Areas:

    Also known as scoria, this type of gravel comes in red or black and has a lava rock texture that is slightly porous. It’s a popular option because it is lightweight compared to other types of gravel and is easier to deliver and install.

  • Lava rock is popular with homeowners living in desert areas as it imitates the desert landscape. However, the intense red color of lava rock also makes it appropriate for homes where the color will add a defining touch. It is a type of gravel that also works well for focal points like an island plant bed or walkway.
  • Where to Find Lava Rock:

    If you live in a northern or southern state, contact a stone gravel supplier to see if this gravel is available. Often it can be specially ordered, and you’ll receive it a few weeks later. When looking for a supplier, you can often check their website to gauge the quality of the gravel that they offer. Make sure to find a reputable professional that has been in business for a long time.

Crushed granite

Notes:

  • Available in gray tones, crushed granite also comes in brown and tan shades. The advantage to this type of granite is that it’s budget-friendly, and you can install it yourself. Because of its lower price, it’s appropriate for large areas like patios, garden areas, and pathways.
  • It’s an addition you want anywhere that you need to add a natural look. Depending on how much sunlight your property gets, you may want to consider choosing a lighter color to prevent the gravel from getting too hot during the day.

Pea gravel

Notes:

  • Many homeowners tend to use pea gravel because of its texture and color variation. It’s also an affordable choice that works in almost any application. In addition, this gravel easily mixes with other types of gravel and landscaping features. This kind of gravel works particularly well in gardens as a result.

fourth “photo remodeling” idea

River rock

Notes:

  • For larger focal areas for water features, consider using river rock. The variety of sizes and colors offers a natural look. River rock is a popular landscaping stone because it brings out the beauty of a yard or water design features.
  • Use it in any style of design, edging, or planting bed. When you have more gravel areas, you have less grass to mow, which means less weekly maintenance.

Other decorative rock

Notes:

  • There are other decorative rocks that can be used for landscaping, driveways, and back area yards. Note that graveled landscapes require a lot less maintenance effort once installed – less watering – less mowing – less erosion control.
  • So are you interested in seeing what a graveled area can do for you? You can find varying gravel rock ideas that could be used for creative coloring and design. Choose the one that works with your current landscaping.
  • Some landscaping ideas using varying rock and stone:
    • multi-color gravel stone [ view ideas ]
    • sea gravel stones (pebbles)[ view ideas ]
    • dyed stones [ view ideas ]
    • colored stones used in landscaping [ view ideas ]
  • FINAL REMARKS

    Whether you’re a lawn care expert or a novice gardener, you can see the greater benefit in adding gravel to the yard because of the increased landscape focal points and the fact that there’s less watering and less mowing needed.
