Small Rock Garden Design Ideas

Here are five small rock garden designs that PNW homeowners love:

1. Japanese rock garden (sometimes called a zen garden). These are some of the most simplistic and yet beautiful types of rock garden designs. They implement a natural and intense color palette of stony gray, maple red, and deep greens and browns. 
2. Cascading terrace rock garden. These are perfect outdoor additions to showcase your landscape centerpiece or simply add depth and texture to your outdoor space. 
3. Still pond and rock garden. Consider having a small koi fish pond in the center of your rock garden or a bubbly fountain to attract the eyes to a focal point. 
4. Succulent rock garden. Succulents are one of the best ways to create texture in a rock garden. You can blend rocks and succulents of varying sizes to create an earthy-toned, textured space. 
5. Painted rock garden. Rock gardens like this are artistic and should focus on bright plants with varying textures.

3 Tips For How To Design a Small Rock Garden

When it comes to tips for how to design a small rock garden, here are three simple things that you should consider before setting to work on your small rock garden. 

1. Consider how much sunlight your yard receives before choosing which plants you’ll have in your garden. 
2. Ask yourself what the purpose of your rock garden is. If you are installing a rock garden to help with backyard flooding, you should get plants that improve drainage and absorb excess water. 
3. Determine whether your small rock garden installation is a DIY project or whether you should enlist the help of a local landscaping company to install your small rock garden.
