Hardscaping is an attractive and cost-effective landscaping option for commercial properties. Hardscaping includes possibilities such as gravel, river rock, decorative boulders, rock retention walls, and stone steps. Lawns are a high maintenance and impractical landscaping choice for commercial properties in our high desert climate. A gravel conversion project can transform your commercial property with a fresh look. Gravel comes in a variety of colors and sizes, from 3/4" Santa Fe Brown to 1-2" river rock. Gravel landscapes can be enhanced with colorful xeric perennials and other drought tolerant shrubs or trees. Some good options include Red Flowering Yuccas, Russian Sage, Agave, Butterfly Bush, Catmint and New Mexico Privet. Gravel and river rock can also be used to create designs and drainage solutions, as well as add to the aesthetic appeal of your commercial property.

It got me when you said that river rock and gravel can actually help with the drainage aside from the design of your landscape. I guess this means that it would be a great option for homes as well. With that in mind, I will talk to professionals to ask if they can recommend it for my backyard when I have the budget ready by spring of 2023.

This article is a great resource for property managers considering improvements! The breakdown of the different hardscaping options, from walkways to retaining walls, is very helpful. I especially like the point about how hardscaping can reduce maintenance needs compared to traditional landscaping.
