Our latest house project is now completed! After nearly a year of talking about this, we finally took on the 1-ton landscape project, and the results are magnificent. To improve the water drainoff slope outside our living room, we were advised to build up the adjacent mulch garden. The idea of a hardscape was appealing due to the lesser maintenance required, and of course, how nice it looks.

After reviewing a dozen or so rock prospects from two garden specialty centers (Gerten's and Herman's) we went with Pink Quartz (aka Pink Sioux Quartz):


We dug out 15 bags of weed-infested mulch, put down 17 40# bags of top soil, pounded and compacted, laid new landscape fabric, and then filled with 3/4 cubic yard of rock. Here is a snapshot of the lovely completed project (click through for more photos):
