How do you build a rock garden on a hill?

The barrier of choice is usually heavy-duty landscape fabric, but tarps or other types of plastic can sometimes be an acceptable substitute.

Can I put river rock around plants?

River rocks drain quickly, so they're perfect for succulents, cacti and other plants that don't like moisture around their stems. They also retain heat, so they're a fine complement to flower beds with sun- and heat-loving plants but should not be used with more delicate plants that can't take too much reflected heat.

Can plants grow in rock mulch?
