Rock Garden Entry On A Slope

Different design ideas for using decorative rocks in your garden or landscape

While I'm not real crazy about this design, I do like the rock steps go up the center of the rock garden as part of the front door entry. Almost every time I've seen rock steps like this that look like an outcropping, they've looked great. Even in nothing but an expanse of lawn leading up a hillside, they create a nice functional accent.

While this garden does a great job of using rocks to landscape the slope and creating entry access, it would look better with a little more consistency and natural layout that flows intersecting the direction of the steps. Using a majority of one type of rock with a few accents of another type would look more natural and appealing.
