All good gardening methods need good drainage for watering, so bear this under consideration. Ensure that wherever you choose to place your garden, you have a level surface as a base.

A fast trip to any of the huge nurseries or home building providers will offer you a spread of options for materials. Ornamental stone makes a nice wall for rock garden patios. It comes in a selection of colours and shapes, with straight or round edges. Brick and formed blocks will also work. Your garden could be a single tier, or several staggered patios. If you want to build a rooftop garden, make sure that the trusses or roofing substructure will adequately support the weight. If this isn’t the case, maybe many minute, scattered gardening spots would be a wiser choice.

When you have chose your materials and decided where to find your rock garden, level the surface. Place your stone or brick border materials round the fringe. If you’ll be adding another tier, place the blocks which will support the ornamental stone that’ll be exposed first. Then place your ornamental pieces on top of the supporting bricks. Repeat for as many tiers as you may need. Make sure you have left openings for proper drainage. You may use tiny sections of “PVC pipe between the blocks that may permit water to flow thru. Fill the tiers with a potting mix and add your plant selections, guaranteeing satisfactory spacing between each plant. Your rock garden is now complete for everybody to enjoy.
