Rock Yard
We want to go from grass to colored rocks in our Villa. Our back yard is much larger than most. I need recommendations of people/companies that do really good work...at a fair price (!).
Thanks! 7-12-18 |
We’d love to come out and give you a quote. You can search for us on here, google, or the Nextdoor app to find our reviews. Our office number is 352-502-2880.
Thanks, Tate |

OP, you should check with ARC (community standards) I do not believe this is allowed.
|
As long as it is a Courtyard Villa (with walls around the yard), you are OK. CYV's are the only homes allowed to have a rock yard per the ARC and your deed restrictions.
|
With the blessing of the ARC, the Village Palms replaced all the grass at our CYV with landscaping rocks.
We are more than satisfied with their work. |
Just a word of caution, you will still get weeds, etc with rock, so while your yard will be lower maintenance, it will not be maintenance free.
|
We would love to talk to you about your project! Feel free to call our office at 352-425-6361. We can set up a time for one of our designers to come out and we would also be able to submit any ARC paperwork for you as well. Feel free to look up our website or reviews for us on Talk of the Villages as well as NextDoor and Facebook!

I hope the all rock thing doesn't catch on.

If you keep the bedding plants that came with your home, they are hardy to this area and don't require extra measures. All rock still gets enough plant material settling and decomposing to offer a place for weeds to sprout and grow. I love the look of lawns that are made of grass. I think this whole subject is another mini-philosophy, kinda like I am virtuous and do things correctly and I am saving the earth. |

Be sure you check with ARC. Friend did it without checking and had 4 hearings afterwards to get everything approved because of complaining neighbors. They even threatened a fine.

I would suggest light colored rock at least, or a tree. Consider that rock will adsorb heat, and with the walls, your backyard is probably going to be a furnace in the summer. I'm not a fan of a grass patch myself, but that or ground cover is cooler.
