Rock Gardens Built From Local Stone And Vegetation
D Victor Lumsden of the US Department of Agriculture notes that uneven sites with natural vegetation are prime for rock gardens. Slopes washing in heavy rain, uneven grass, and limited shade can shape suitable designs. Use native stone to blend with surroundings and avoid purposeless rock piles. Start with observing natural rock outcroppings before starting construction.

Rock Garden Design From Stone and Soil Tips
Good soil for use in all pockets between rocks. Place weathered stones with faces exposed so surfaces slope back into soil. Leave frequent intervals for plant pockets filled with soil and leaf mold. Firm the soil to exclude air pockets before planting. Consult catalogs for suitable plants. Rocky gardens enhance grounds and control erosion on steep banks.
