In the Inland Empire, water conservation is more than just a trend—it's a necessity. Traditional grass lawns require constant watering, fertilizing, and mowing. By replacing unused lawn areas or bare dirt with high-quality decorative rock, river cobble, or premium wood mulch, you drastically reduce your water bill while instantly elevating your property's curb appeal. Ground covers act as a protective blanket for your soil, keeping the root zones of your trees and shrubs cool and locking in vital moisture during the scorching summer months.

A beautiful rock or mulch installation requires much more than simply dumping material on the ground. At Houston's Landscaping, we handle the heavy lifting from start to finish. Our process begins with a thorough site cleanup, removing weeds, dead brush, and unwanted debris. We then carefully grade the soil to ensure proper drainage away from your home's foundation. Next, we install a heavy-duty, commercial-grade weed barrier fabric, securing it firmly to the ground. This crucial step prevents nuisance weeds from ruining your new landscape while still allowing water and nutrients to reach your plants. Finally, we spread the rock or mulch to the optimal depth, creating clean, uniform coverage.

We offer a massive selection of materials to suit any architectural style. From modern, sleek black Mexican beach pebbles and crisp white marble rock to natural-looking California gold gravel and rich, dark-dyed barks, we can create striking visual contrasts in your yard. We also specialize in designing functional dry river beds using varying sizes of river rock and boulders to elegantly solve drainage issues and prevent erosion on sloped properties.
