If you have a patch of garden that doesn’t really have a purpose then you may wish to create a rockery. A rockery can transform any garden and is also fairly easy to maintain. To create a rockery you first need to lay the foundations. You may wish to raise the area by putting bricks or rubble in a pile, it will help with drainage and give you a good base to start. Cover this with up turned turf to stop the soil falling through the gaps.
Add a layer of soil and then place your rocks out on the soil to see how they will look. Once you are happy with the layout of the rocks, infill the rocks to secure them in to place. You can then add your final layer of compost to the rockery. Once this is all complete you can then start to bed the plants in to the rockery. There are a number of plants that are great on a rockery, but speak to a member of staff at the gardening centre to find out which are best.
