Mulch or Decorative Rocks

The best way to finish a flowerbed is by adding a layer of bark or decorative gravel.  Whether you prefer the natural appeal of mulch, or the desert look of rock, there are many varieties.

And besides providing a finished look, bark and gravel can work as a moisture barrier, trapping in water for your plants and flowers.  This can cut down on the amount of water you need to keep your plants healthy.
