If you are planning on adding landscaping rock to your yard, the
following tips will help you with your plans.
First, you need to know what exactly you want to do with your
landscaping. If you are trying to add depth and texture to your
landscape, natural stone is a great choice. The size, color,
textures, and type of rocks vary greatly however. You will have
to narrow them down based upon your design.
For example, small rocks or stones are used for things like
accenting paths or as a border for a garden. Larger rocks or
boulders are permanently placed and can be for decoration or used
as a place to sit and relax.
Planning Rock Placement
In order to be successful with your rock landscaping, you should
place the larger rocks and boulders in places where they will
become focal points. If you are trying to hide a certain area,
do not put the rocks there. Every rock that you place should
have a purpose, based upon balance, looks, and design. You
should not haphazardly place them. Instead, you should plan
exactly where each rock will go ahead of time.
Stones are very natural, so they should look that way. You can
bury part of the base of the rock to give an extremely natural
look. Large boulders can be planted deeper into the ground than
smaller landscaping rocks. Four to six inches is a good general
depth to use as a guide. It will blend in better with the entire
landscape if it is somewhat in the ground, instead of looking
like you just rolled a rock into your yard.
You should dig a hole a little bigger than the size of the rock,
place the rock inside, then fill in the rest of the hole that is
still open with dirt. It's as simple as that.
When you are thinking about
where to place landscape rocks, you need to consider how they will get to
that position. If you are placing large boulders, you will need
a loader or bobcat. You will have to be careful though, that the
equipment does not destroy any part of your landscape. You may
have to seek out other options if there is no way to bring a
large boulder in.
Overall, you should try to imitate nature with your rock
placement. You should go on a nature hike and observe how rocks
naturally sit in the ground an strive to make your yard look
similar.

have large yard, want to landscape, old hay field, should i bulldoze top layer before i put down top soil?
the yard has alot of weeds in it and i don't want to waste money puting top soil and sod down if the weeds r going to grow thru it,,,should i bulldoze the top layer off first or can i just put down the top soil...any ideals will help
We built a home on 10 acres of farmland that was a hayfield and a pasture. I've had the best luck with my trees, bushes and flowers growing than I've ever had. I feel like the land was "virgin" land and things grow very well. Yes there will be weeds but if you get a good lawn going, keep it fertilized and watered, the weeds will be nonexsistant. Don't remove the top layer of top soil as I think it's pretty fertile dirt. Some gardeners suggest using products to kill off the weeds and then waiting a couple of weeks to till the dead weeds under and do your planting.
If you're determined to put down top soil I suggest that you go ahead and bulldoze the top layer of soil as just putting top soil over weeds will not get rid of them. Been there, done that!
Good luck!
