Rock & Flower Bed Installation & Restoration 

​

Creating or restoring flower beds with decorative rock accents can enhance your Minnesota landscape’s beauty and functionality. When designing rock and flower beds, it’s important to consider the state’s USDA Hardiness Zones (3–5) to select cold-hardy perennials, shrubs, and ground covers that thrive in our climate. Proper bed preparation ensures long-term success—start by removing weeds, old mulch, or debris, then amend the soil with compost to improve drainage and fertility.  

​

For new installations, we shape the bed with clean edges, install landscape fabric (if needed) to suppress weeds, and strategically place rocks or boulders for structure and visual interest. Minnesota-friendly plants like hostas, daylilies, sedum, and native prairie flowers are excellent choices for low-maintenance, hardy beds. Decorative rock mulch (such as river rock or granite) adds texture, reduces erosion, and retains soil moisture while minimizing upkeep.  

​

For restoring old beds we revitalize overgrown or struggling areas by pruning, dividing crowded plants, replenishing soil, and refreshing mulch or rock layers. Proper edging keeps beds looking crisp and prevents grass encroachment. In Minnesota, it’s best to install or restore beds in spring or fall to avoid summer heat stress and give plants time to establish before winter.
