Low maintenance ground cover in a range of colors and sizes, and the safer choice over bark within five feet of your home for defensible space.
Low maintenance ground cover that needs no mowing and no watering, and the safer choice within five feet of your house for defensible space. Perez Landscaping installs decorative rock, gravel, and drainage rock across Reno, Sparks, and Northern Nevada.
Ramiro Perez has been installing rock and solving drainage in Northern Nevada since 1990.
Rock over an unresolved drainage problem hides it for a season and makes it worse in the next.
Bark and mulch are not allowed within five feet of the house in areas at risk from wildfire. Rock is.
Ramiro walks the property, quotes the job, and is on site while it gets done.
Low maintenance coverage for front yards, side yards, and perimeters.
Replacing bark against the house with rock, which is what the fire rules call for.
Rock that moves roof and slope runoff away from your foundation.
Riprap and larger stone that holds slopes and channels in place.
Rock comes in a range of colors and sizes, and the right pick depends on the job. Smaller gravel is comfortable underfoot for paths, three quarter inch is the workhorse for beds, and larger cobble stays put in drainage runs. Colors run through browns, tans, reds, and grays, and we show you samples before anything is delivered.
Most rock installations take one to a few days depending on square footage, access, and how much has to come out first. You get a written estimate before we start.
Rock is the lowest maintenance ground cover available here, but it is not zero maintenance. Windblown soil settles in over the years and a few weeds will start in it, so occasional spot treatment keeps it clean. Rock can also be topped up if it thins out.
Bark beds swapped for rock, bare yards finished, and drainage runs that look like landscaping.

Fewer, but yes, eventually. Fabric stops what pushes up from below. What gets you over time is windblown soil settling on top and seeding there.
Within five feet of the house, yes, and the fire rules call for it. Bark is fuel. Beyond that five feet, bark is fine.
Two to three inches for a standard bed. Thinner shows the fabric and lets more weeds start.
Yes, it is one of the most common jobs we do. Note there is no turf removal rebate in the Reno area, so nobody should be telling you one will cover part of it.
Yes. Dry creek beds, gravel drainage runs, swales, and slope erosion control.
