I’m trying to put up a small rock garden in front of my house – it’s a 32 square foot area (8x4). This is in Central Florida. At first it seemed easy, but I’m running into complications.
First, the pipe leading from my AC condenser is right there (the one that drips water). The AC unit is right next to the area. I figured I could just build around that, but now I’m nervous about what I might accidentally do.
Second, there’s some sort of water…thing…there. I’m not sure what this thing is – it’s just a box of some sort that I think has a control to the water in the house, but I think that’s more out front. Again, I figured I could just work around this (y'know, put the rocks around it).
Third – and I didn’t notice this until much later, like after I bought supplies – that there’s some sort of thing in the way of where I was going to put the rock wall. I’m not sure if this is a sprinkler head or the motion sensor for the lights to my house – the previous owner did some weird, stupid shit to my house (she put a door frame in a hallway – it’s not a door, mind you – she just put a frame there because reasons)..
Looking for any advice – should I not be doing a rock garden here? I got some supplies already, but I’m sure I can return most of them (some of them are already kinda dirty and a little used). My original plan was to put a rock wall around the area, and then put down a weed protective plastic layer, then a layer of sand, and then the rocks. I’d prefer the rock garden because it’s largely low maintenance – any advice would help. I’m about a step away from just hiring a professional.
