Rock in Portland, Oregon can perform important functions as well as be a decorative element. The best landscape plans combine these roles. Round river rock is often placed under a downspout to ensure that it has the proper drainage and travels away from the home’s foundation. Since the bottom of downspouts should be at least 18 inches long, they can be an eyesore if they just jut out into the yard. Often the homeowner can create landscape features that incorporate the downspout and rocks.
Home gardeners love to use wall rock to edge their flower beds, walkways or even their driveways. They are often perfect for small retaining walls. The garden center stocks a variety of colors and sizes including Black Basalt Wall Rock which ranges in color from dark gray to black. Landscapers who want a softer rock wall can use Camas Gray Basalt Wall Rock. These large rocks vary from light to medium gray with blue and lavender highlights. Gardeners can feel free to bring pictures of their yard and particular landscape areas to the garden center. Employees will be able to look at the existing landscape and recommend the particular shade that will look best with it.
Rocks are often very heavy. In the case of all of the wall rocks it can take two people to carry them. If the homeowner prefers, the landscape center can send out employees to put the wall in place. In just a few hours skilled technicians can create a beautiful retaining wall or garden border. The homeowner will love showing these distinctive features off to visitors.
