An alpine slide or rock garden is a model of a natural mountain landscape, or a kind of flower garden, made of stones of different sizes, which raise the flower garden higher from the ground, and has aesthetic appeal, and ornamental plants enhance the effect of a rock garden. The layout of an alpine slide with your own hands must begin in early autumn.
The first step in the planning of the rock garden will be the exact marking of the territory of the site on which the rock garden will be located. An alpine slide in the garden can be: large, medium, and small in size. When planning an alpine slide with an area of 12 m2 or more, it is necessary to mark the future location of height transitions, planting plants and garden paths.
