Gravel
High Style: Gravel Gardens by Fearno Landscaping LLC
A well-designed garden brings peace, beauty, and personality to any outdoor space—but not everyone has the time or resources to maintain a traditional, high-water landscape. That’s where gravel gardens come in. At Fearno Landscaping LLC, we specialize in creating elegant, low-maintenance gravel gardens that offer both functionality and timeless appeal. Whether you’re looking for a water-wise solution, a minimalist modern design, or a natural aesthetic that complements your home, a gravel garden can be the perfect answer.
What Is a Gravel Garden?
A gravel garden uses gravel and stones as the primary ground cover, instead of grass or traditional mulch. Carefully placed plants—typically drought-tolerant varieties—are nestled in the gravel, creating a clean and stylish look that thrives with little water and upkeep. Gravel gardens are ideal for hot, dry climates or areas where water conservation is a priority. But thanks to their versatility, they’re also increasingly popular in modern landscaping designs across a variety of environments.
At Fearno Landscaping LLC, we design gravel gardens to suit your property’s unique layout, lifestyle, and goals—whether you’re enhancing a front yard, creating a peaceful courtyard, or designing a decorative corner in your backyard.
Benefits of a Gravel Garden
1. Low Maintenance
Unlike grass lawns or high-maintenance flower beds, gravel gardens require minimal watering, weeding, or trimming. The gravel acts as a natural weed barrier and retains moisture in the soil, reducing the need for constant care.
2. Water Efficiency
With drought-resistant plants and gravel as a base, gravel gardens drastically reduce water usage—making them an environmentally friendly and cost-saving solution.
3. Timeless Beauty
Gravel gardens offer a clean, modern aesthetic that fits a wide range of design styles—from Mediterranean and desert-inspired looks to contemporary or rustic themes.
4. Excellent Drainage
Gravel allows water to drain freely, preventing puddles, mud, or waterlogging around plants. This makes gravel gardens especially useful in areas with drainage issues.
5. Year-Round Appeal
With the right design and plant selection, gravel gardens look attractive in every season. No dead grass in winter or overgrown plants in summer—just a consistently neat, natural space.
What Can You Include in a Gravel Garden?
Gravel gardens are incredibly versatile. With thoughtful planning and creative design, you can incorporate:
Drought-Tolerant Plants: Such as lavender, ornamental grasses, sedums, succulents, sage, and yucca.
Garden Paths and Walkways: Using pavers or stepping stones alongside gravel to create movement and access.
Accent Boulders or Rock Features: Add texture and height with natural stone or decorative elements.
Raised Beds or Planters: Mix materials and levels to create depth and contrast.
Lighting and Borders: Solar lights, steel edging, or natural wood frames add polish and character.
