Coral Rock Wall

In today’s yards, it is common to see designers experimenting with many different structures and materials to add texture and interest to a landscape. They may add a colorful glass mulch walkway, or maybe a piece of art to a flowerbed. Another way to add interest to a landscape is to use hardscapes. These are structures such as patios or walls that help divide the space up and make it more pleasing to the eye.

A wall make out of coral rocks is a good example of a hardscape. This wall can be made around a patio to separate it from a flowerbed, or it can be the outer edge of a bed that meets up with a path. Coral rocks are perfect for hardscaping because they are easy to work with, and they look great. The different patterns that are found in coral rocks make them a favorite for landscapers. Coral rocks can be found in cut blocks to be used for structures like walls or fireplaces, or as flagging pieces to line pathways or patios, or they can simply be boulders to be displayed in a landscape.
