Rock and Mulch

acting as a protective barrier that locks in soil moisture and smothers thirsty weeds. While both help reduce water evaporation, organic mulch (like wood chips) nourishes the soil as it decomposes and keeps plant roots cool, whereas rock (like gravel or river stone) offers a permanent, wind-resistant solution that provides superior drainage and a clean, modern aesthetic. Together, they create a low-maintenance landscape that survives heatwaves by regulating soil temperature and preventing the erosion that often comes with dry, exposed ground.
