Small tips... hose down the solid rocks first, less transfer of dirt in bed for weeds to grow, also use a 5 gallon bucket and push rocks into bucket.

Very good tips

Instead of trying to dig the shovel into the middle of the pile, start at the edge of the pile with your shovel flat against the driveway so there aren’t any rocks underneath your shovel, just the flat surface of the driveway. Much less friction that way and allows you to get a shovel full each time :)

Very expensive up front, but in the long run it saves a lot of money on mulching every year. Plus saves time from all the work you never have to do! Looks really good against your brick, orangeish red is hard to match up with. Looks like your helper had a lot of fun helping and those are great memories to make

I LOVE your genuine appreciation for the Rocks, themselves! A lot of videos miss sharing this aspect of the Landscaping process-or ANY interaction, for that matter-with Rocks. … you have that passion that unites Rock Lovers everywhere; a deep appreciation for the natural beauty of ROCKS. Believe me, I get it. #iloverocks 🍃💛🍃

It's nice to see I am not alone in my love of rocks in a yard.

Looks beautiful !!! maybe a small garden fountain tricking down some of the rocks would enhance it and make the river sound

Looks great and a perfect choice for the beds against the house. The plastic landscape fabric with river rock on top is great to divert water away from the house's foundation with very little rain water soaking down into the soil around the house.

My man! Just like me: Us, the wheelbarrows and the shovels! 👏👍

I'm doing 3.5 tons myself but smaller river rock. Easier to handle. All I know is I don't have any problem falling asleep after doing many rounds with that rock.

Absolutely beautiful! I love rocks! All my beds are edged in rocks. The rainbow rock is gorgeous! Thank you!

Diamond pro concrete sealer. Super shine that’ll last some time. Expensive yes, no more than type of stone being used.

In this area they are called river rocks but the delivery guy for one load said they are mined in any gravel pit and just size sorted by machines...they are found anywhere in the ground....we add more color to the top each year by bringing home white ones or special colored ones from trips to the ocean....looks beautiful and is timeless.

I ordered some 3-4" cobble rocks (3 yards) in September of 2020, not long after this video was made. Unfortunately, the rocks I received included a *large* amount of clay mixed in. Not the kind of stuff you can just easily rinse out. I spent weeks trying to wash the rocks, only managing to fully wash 1 yard of it. Please learn from my lesson and ensure you're getting relatively clean cobble. Large piles of clay mixed in will ruin a project like this.

full support done♥️🙏

Surprised he didn’t mention removing 3-6inch of soil prior to, instead of adding straight on top. Thought that was common practice, would give property more water retainage/storage during big rain event

lay a piece of strong tarp on the floor then with your feet kick them onto the tarp and then you can drag the tarp across over the the bed in batches

Great video....u gave me a great suggestion for a rock bed.

I love the look but rocks are such a pain in the ass to move around! I'm doing it right now. It sucks. I envy those who can afford to hire landscapers

I hope you used landscape fabric and not a tarp like you said a couple of times. Water should be able to pass through it but not weeds. Tarps don't let water through.

Yes I like my friend
