 Advice how to build a rockery - Building rockeries and rock garden.
However, your rockery is best suited near to the house or patio - unless you are an avid 'visitor' to your own garden.
Together with this, Rockeries need to be kept under observation, for weeds can soon take hold, and if they are allowed to become established in your rockery, are very difficult to remove without damage to your choice plants.
Now - depending on the size and height that you wish the rockery to be when finished - you can place further rocks - smaller ones now - onto the next level, again putting more soil over to increase the height in stages.

 CITY ...
After discussion, Commissioner Simpson summarized that what they want to do is maintain the five-foot clearance between a building and a rockery, not allow rockery higher than 48 inches, and make sure it is on the down hill side.
Commissioner Simpson stated that she does not like being too prescriptive as in the four feet example and suggested adding language to the beginning of the code describing the intent, which is to preserve the natural typography of the city and maintain the native vegetation.
She stated that the four feet is too arbitrary and stated there are lots of new lots that would have to build under the new code and would have to abide by slopes and rockeries regulations and with the verbiage about conforming to the natural typography she does not think the four-foot limitation is needed.
