A rock landscape is a great addition to any property in Colorado! To ensure you keep it looking great, there are several things you should be doing. Keep weeds out of your rock landscape by applying pre- and post-emergent weed control treatments, which will prevent new weeds from sprouting and eliminate any existing ones. This will help maintain your landscape's attractive appearance. You should rake and wash the rocks down every once in a while and clean up any debris as well to help keep your rock landscape clean and vibrant. Once they begin to lose their color or look worn down, refresh them with new rocks to boost the aesthetics of your property once again.

1. Keep weeds out of your rock landscape to maintain its attractive appearance.

When weeds sprout in your rock landscape, they can create an unattractive appearance. Bright, green weeds will be very noticeable within your rock landscape so it's important to keep them out at all times. To do this, you will need to apply both pre- and post-emergent weed control treatments. Pre-emergent weed control treatments will help prevent weeds from sprouting and post-emergent treatments will eliminate any that do. By utilizing both types of these treatments, you can help to keep your rock landscape weed-free!

2. Rake and wash rock landscapes down every once in a while to keep them clean and vibrant.

Over time, dirt and other debris may build up on the rocks, hiding their color and creating a dirty or messy appearance. This will cause the rocks to lose their vibrancy and drag down the overall beauty of your property. Raking and washing them every once in a while will help keep them clean and the rocks will then continue to positively add to the aesthetics of your landscape. During this time, you should also clean up any debris that may have fallen in your rock landscape, such as twigs and leaves.

3. Refresh your rocks whenever they look worn down or lose their color to keep your landscape looking great.

Rocks are a great, long-lasting option for ground cover in landscape beds or as a replacement for grass, but it's normal for the rocks to eventually look dull or worn down. Once they start to lose their color, you'll want to refresh your rocks to help keep your landscape looking great. At this time, you can refresh your landscape with the same type of rocks or choose from a wide variety of options and switch it up. No matter what you want to do, you can be sure that refreshing your rocks will give your property an aesthetic boost!
