For most Las Vegas yards, we recommend a refresh once a year to remove desert debris, control weeds, and keep your rock vibrant and evenly distributed.
Can you remove weeds without disturbing the rock?
Yes! We carefully target weeds along edges and seams while preserving your rock layout and keeping your landscape looking neat and tidy.
Do you offer services for HOA compliance?
Absolutely. We specialize in rock clean ups and maintenance that help homeowners maintain curb appeal and stay compliant with HOA guidelines.
How much does rock landscaping cost in Las Vegas?
The cost of rock landscaping in Las Vegas depends on the rock type, color, and yard size. Most residential projects range from $6 to $12 per square foot, including materials and design coordination. Decorative rocks, borders, and boulders can slightly increase the total based on the layout and access.
How often should landscape rock be replaced or refreshed?
Most rock landscapes last 7–10 years before needing a full replacement. However, a top off or refresh every 3–5 years keeps colors vibrant and prevents thinning caused by wind, settling, and foot traffic.
