Making the right selection of stone for your design starts with the style of rockery you desire. Factors like environment will weigh in on the rocks we select if better stone is available.
Adding plants to a rockery can add a lot to the final look of your construction. The tasteful use of the proper plants in your rock features can accentuate your project giving it warm and a welcome feeling. If your design is in a location with little light, impatiens or hostas will likely thrive there. We encourage choosing some common plants and placing them with your rock design. When choosing ground cover plants, wooly, yarrow, rock cress, and perennials are excellent selections. This will enhance the beauty and blend the new addition into your existing landscape, providing a more natural appearance.

New Life Rockeries mainly utilizes three types of rock in our projects.
One Man, Half Man Rock
These projects can often be assembled by hand and are good for small wall builds. One must understand that one man and half man stones are not rocks a man can lift, these are rocks that can be moved with the use of a crowbar. When working half man projects, we use a larger crew so we can complete as much of the job in a single day.
Two and Three Man Rock
These stones can only be placed with the use of a machine. Due to this, our teams will consist of one operator as well as one man on the ground and another driving a supply truck. This is the most common type of rockery construction our crews do. We use a custom mini machine that has been specially modified to ensure the construction of these walls both quick and economical. Our teams can construct 400-600 square foot of wall on an average day.
Boulders
Due to boulders smooth surfaces and round edges, we rarely used them in the assembly of rock walls. Sometimes we will insert boulders within rock walls to add an aesthetic enhancement to the project, but they are generally not as practical as rocks when building retaining walls.
Water features are an excellent choice when you wish to elevate the beauty of your rockery project. Options like falls, ponds, pools, and fountains are all great choices that add beauty to your property and can also help direct water flow through your Bothell property. With a wide selection of Water feature options to choose from, we can help you create nearly any look you desire.
