Rock Installation in Rotonda West, FL

Full lanai landscape build with rock as the primary bed surface on a Rotonda West canal lot. Bed prep first — excavation of damp old mulch, commercial weed mat, concrete curbing to lock in the footprint — before the rock goes in. Rock type was confirmed against the homeowner's section deed restriction before ordering. 7.5 cu yd over 784 sq ft at the right depth, plants installed through cuts in the fabric.

Rock bed build in Rotonda West combining curbing, commercial weed mat, rock, and a plant install. The existing irrigation ran through the new bed footprint so we rerouted the heads before the rock went in — much easier than trying to fix irrigation coverage once rock is down. 50 ft of concrete curbing set first, then commercial weed mat, then 6 cu yd of decorative rock, then plants through fabric cuts. Rock type approved by homeowner's HOA section beforehand.

Full property landscape build in Rotonda West with black slate as the primary rock surface — confirmed against the HOA section's approved materials before ordering. Black slate is a high-contrast choice that works well with pale tan concrete curbing and lighter tropical plants. 90 ft of curbing set first to define all bed edges, drainage handled (downspout connections away from the canal side), then commercial weed mat and 7 cu yd of black slate. Sod covered the lawn areas disturbed during the build.

All species confirmed against the homeowner's section deed restriction list before purchase. Plastic edging at the lawn interface gives the rock beds a clean line.
