Have pathways put in

Landscaping rocks can also be used to create some nice paths throughout the property. Flat stones can pave the walkways. Then, larger stones can be used along the sides to create visual borders. This can help you to see where the pathways are throughout the property because you will be able to see the larger stones that line them from a good distance. Creating paths in this way is fun and it also helps to give the yard such a great look. 

Create borders in the yard

Landscaping rocks can be used to create borders in your yard. You can use large rocks to put borders around large trees and other areas.
