Soil erosion can become a nuisance during windy conditions and if flowering plants are not contained in a traditional flowerbed. A retaining wall that is constructed of decorative landscaping rocks will prevent soil from shifting and will beautify a back yard. The tips below can be used to install a basic border around an existing plant display.
Supplies
• leaf blower
• broom
• shop vacuum cleaner
• bagged soil
• small shovel
• measuring tape
• landscaping rocks
• LED lights
Clean Up Soil That Has Shifted And Add Soil To The Flowerbed
If soil that has shifted can visibly be seen on a sidewalk or other features in a yard that next to a plant display, a leaf blower can be used to move the soil back into the bed. If the soil has shifted far away from the plant display., a broom can be used to sweep it into a pile or a shop vacuum cleaner can be used to remove it from the property.
If there are several indentations in the flowerbed, due to soil loss, bagged soil should be purchased, and a small shovel can be used to add soil to parts of the display. The back of the shovel can be used to level the surface of the soil.
Take Measurements And Install Rocks And Lights
Visit us website or a similar website to view the decorative rocks that are for sale. A retaining wall that is a single layer can be added by choosing a thick decorative rock in San Marcos, TX for the project. Rocks have varying textures that will enhance a plant display.
After measuring the length and width of the display, decorative rocks can be purchased directly from a supplier’s website or by contacting the business directly. After acquiring the rocks, they should be placed side by side-along the front and sides of the plant display.
Each rock in San Marcos, TX needs to be pressed into the soil so that they all remain in place. LED lights can be installed on both ends of a flower display so that the landscaping feature can be enjoyed at night.
