Crushed rock landscaping can bring a colorful and artistic layout to your lawn. The material is available in various colors, sizes, and shapes, and you can create beautiful borders with ease. There is also no need to replenish the material regularly, as you would if you chose mulch instead. However, there are some tradeoffs for choosing rock over mulch. For one, the crushed rock does not
. improve the condition of the soil at all. Second, it tends to be much more difficult to weed. Additionally, if you ever want to add plants or flowers to that area, the rock would need to be removed in order to do so, whereas mulch could just be dug into the soil.
