How do I build a rock garden?
Building A Rock Garden On Flat Ground.(1) The Outline.
An island rock garden should have an irregular, flowing outline. Avoid geometric shapes and straight lines.
A flowing, curved outline looks natural and is easy to navigate a mower around.
Lay a hose pipe on the lawn to form the proposed outline. Stand back and view from different aspects. Adjust the outline if necessary and when you are completely happy, trickle some sand around the outside of the hose to mark the bed shape on the grass.
Remove the turf and dig the bed over to a depth of 12". Remove all perennial weed roots
