Think about heat and glare

Very light rock can brighten a yard but may reflect heat and sun. Dark rock gives contrast but can feel warmer around seating areas.

Match the home exterior

Grey, tan, gold, and mixed rock can each work well depending on stucco color, roof tone, hardscape, and plant palette.

Plan for edges

Clean edging around turf, planters, and concrete keeps rock from migrating and makes maintenance easier.
