Designing the Rock Garden at Home

Generally we know the park as a collection of plants that are in one area. Types of plants were selected that have the impression of cool, calm, and comfortable, so the house to get a similar impression. So, what about the rock garden?

Rock garden is a unique type of garden. Therefore, to apply more widely used elements of soft material than hard materials. In a sense, the material used is more rock than sand, rocks and plants.

Generally we know the rock garden as a garden composition using hard media, such as sand, coral stones, and gravel.

Rock garden has a planting medium that is different from the usual type of park residents apply.

If we prepare is usually the soil, grass, etc., prepared on the rock garden is a harsh elements such as coral, sand, bricks, and roofed.

That said, the composition of coral stone and sand on the type of garden is reached 60-70 percent, while the rest is the application of the plant.

So, how do I apply? To make a rock garden, the first thing to note is the location and size of the land.

Usually the rock garden is often applied in the house, adjoining the inner court. Even so, some are put in the front or back of the house.

Only, since the character of this park is dry, then when applied in the front yard will influence the impression the main building. While the size, dry garden is generally rarely applied in a broad-scale land. Again due to the character of the park.

Therefore, the land measuring 1X2 meters or 5 feet square can be made already this park.

Because of that, the rock garden still needs a supporting element in order to make it seem more tender. You can add plants and water elements in this garden.

With notes, make sure the plants have similar characteristics. That is, heat resistant crops and does not require special treatment.

Suppose cactus, soft-shelled, or other dry crops. To give a touch of fresh and beautiful, not hurt you to apply the flowering plants. If not possible, you should choose plants that character leaves a beautiful and thick, or select the form of a beautiful trunk.

With notes, still have to select a character similar to other plants.

You still may add another element in the park. Take for example, applications for water fountains or small pools. Regarding size, you can adjust according to the available land. Most importantly, the purpose of a pond or fountain is to soften and refresh the rock garden.

In order for a dry garden is both aesthetic and functional, you should adjust the concept of the garden with character building.

Rock garden should still have a relationship with the concept, or rather the rock garden should be themed so that the application does not seem original.

Do not forget, natural atmosphere should also be a consideration. Sometimes this park as a person termed the naturality of dry garden thus supporting the impression of not being addressed.

So even when choosing hardware elements that would be used, certainly not just any gravel or stone is selected.

In this case you should carefully choose the type of stone used, such as coral, granite, or large rocks. Meanwhile, for its magnitude, you can set it according to the initial concept.

Take for example, select a stone with the same type, but different size. Just how do you composition it.

For example again, for the amount of stone, choose a few large size and dark color. While for small stones, you can use coral stone with a choice of various colors.

Back again to the concept. If that brought the concept of minimalism, the color chosen not too much. Simply select two or a neutral color. Because, too many colors in fact impressed maximalist.
