How do I build a rock garden?
The Stone.
Sandstone or limestone are best. Concrete made to look like stone invariably doesn't.
Stones used should be in a variety of sizes, avoid the bitty effect of using stones the same size. Stone has a grain like wood, always make sure the grain runs in the same direction horizontally.
A good tip is that less is more: It is better to use a few large rocks, than masses of small ones.
