I have always been a fan of rock gardens. Why? Well, they look great and they are pretty easy to maintain as long as you keep the grass and weeds from popping up between the rocks (which is sometimes easier said than done). What kind of rocks are the best rocks? Well any old hard kind will do (basically any rock). There are many different designs for rock gardens and some include other materials that accent the rocks or vice versa. In any event there are a lot of interesting things you can do when you are building a rock garden to increase the aesthetics of your yard. In order to research them, I have provided 30 great online resources for your review:
