Rock ground covers are a popular choice for landscape beds in Iowa because they're low-maintenance and can last for years! Unlike other ground covers, rocks don't decompose, making them an extremely long-lasting option for your landscape beds. You can keep them looking great by hosing them down and removing any debris or weeds. If they start to look worn down or lose their color, you can refresh them to restore their appearance. To ensure that your rocks are installed correctly and at the ideal thickness to provide optimal benefits for your plants, it's best to hire professionals to handle it.

Refreshing your ground cover is a simple process that involves adding a new layer of rocks to your landscape beds.
