After a few years, it was time to replenish the gravel landscaping in my front yard.
Gravel landscaping is easy maintenance but it definitely requiring a little attention every now and then. The fallen leaves and blossoms don’t bother me too much, but after my Jacaranda does its yearly post-flowering dump, I do sweep up all the debris.
The dirt was showing through in some spots so it was time for a little topping off. And that’s basically all I do to maintain my gravel ground cover.

When I moved into this house, the front yard was Bermuda grass, lavender, agapanthus and valerian. Definitely not something that appealed to a garden hound like me so I tore most of it out and did a makeover in 2007. I kept the planting along side the house and added raised beds along the street. I love gravel but I love me some plants even more!
Besides the fact that this replenishing was long overdue, my house is for sale and I just wanted it to look better. First impressions do count for something after all and it’s amazing what an inch of 2 of fresh rock can do aesthetic wise.
I love everything about the rock ground cover in my front yard. The look, lack of maintenance, zero water usage and sound underfoot all make my heart sing!
