It's just me, but I find rocks look too industrial!
Imo, earth always looks best. Sure you have to maintain it, but that's why you grow something bigger. Please don't use wood or rocks
fuck mulch fuck earth rocks for the win
Rocks aren't good for your plants or the soil mulch while it's annoying to replace is much better. I get not being able to blow the leaves off as well but you can just let the leaves decompose with the mulch
Yeah but mulch looks better even though it's a pain to maintain. Rocks only look good if you're in a desert climate.
who doesn't know this stuff
Use Native plants!!!
another clueless landscaper preaching nonsense. shocker.
I dunno… i like the fella that promotes native vegetation for landscaping…
Maybe just plant native species just a thought you’re a young guy there must be some ecofriendlyness about you
Rocks are a lot more work to maintain. You have to be on top of the weeds like immediately. Mulch… once every two years I spread another layer. That’s it
As a professional landscaper, a few corrections. You can do a drip system with or without rocks. Blowing "leaves out" can be done with wood mulch as well if you aren't a goober. You shouldn't be choosing plants that require constant irrigation, and instead plants for your climate. Rock "mulch" increases water need/usage, and increases the feeling of heat in your yard/property, by worsening the heat island effect.
TLDR: Stay in your lane.
Great tips. Thank you for sharing so we know.
Make sure the rocks are big enough we made the mistake of small rocks and they blow with the leaves
Rocks are a big no. And never have plant beds up against the house. Not good for your foundation.
How about using NATIVE species that way it promotes not only a better liking landscape but also better supports the local ecosystem
Make sure to choose what’s best for your region. Especially make sure you know what plants can go where you might end up planting stuff that dies within weeks. This means that maybe evergreens aren’t always the best. Also with evergreens just because they don’t drop all their leaves doesn’t mean they don’t drop anything. They drop old leaves and create thick leaf litter if not taken out routinely. If you become lazy you’ll have a a rock mess with tiny leaves.
I hate rocks for landscaping because if you try to pull out weeds it’s harder then with the mulch also I love the mulch because it decomposes and adds nutrients back to the soil for the plants and if you can’t blow the leaves off the mulch beds you should leave them there cause they’ll also do the same thing with adding nutrients to the soil
Great tips dude really like this channel.
Drip systems last about a year. If they don’t freeze
Don’t know if you’re a good builder or not, but you are really not a smart landscaper.
