Comments on: Boulder Uses in the Garden: How to Make it Rock! http://www.jpetersongardendesign.com/2010/01/415/ Landscape Design & Garden Design in Austin Mon, 06 Sep 2010 22:10:29 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Pam/Digging http://www.jpetersongardendesign.com/2010/01/415/comment-page-1/#comment-183 Pam/Digging Fri, 22 Jan 2010 15:33:45 +0000 http://www.jpetersongardendesign.com/?p=415#comment-183 Long ago I realized that big rocks to play on in a garden beat out a bought playscape any day. Unfortunately, I had this epiphany after we'd already installed an expensive playscape for our kids. ;-) I love rocks too, and your pictures are inspiring. The key to making them look natural---especially those big, round stones like you show in your top pic---is burying them to at least 1/3 of their height.
