Landscaping with rocks?

[Crystal_640]

I'm starting to place tiles to represent where I want trees, bushes, flowers, etc. to go, but I cant think of what to do with rocks. For example, I wanted to make a small path leading to a villager's house, but a rock is right next to the path. Now I have to put 3 flowers near the rock since bushes and trees can't grow in those areas. (See below picture) Does anyone have any ideas on how to deal with rocks when landscaping? I feel like I'll have another problem like this in the future.



For reference: the blue tiles are bushes, the green tiles are trees, and the red tiles are flowers.

can you put trees right next to plaza stone? huh. don't know i knew that lmfao.

i would say it depends on what kind of paths you like, but i've found some people do like mini water rings around them? and that way it looks intentional and utilizes all of the 3x3 space there. can also put a circle of trees and bushes in the border around it, to sorta cover it and keep the flowers in the 3x3, so that way it looks like a lil garden dip. generally, i tend to actually work them into my paths, if i'm doing a 3 width path, as center markers, alongside like streetlights and stuff.

i think there's lots of options when it comes to working w rocks actually !

I looked up if you can put trees and bushes next to plaza stones and you can. I didn't know that too! Also, thanks for the suggestions. I'm making a natural and forest-y themed town, so I think the garden dip could be a nice touch! I think I also saw someone who bordered their path with trees and bushes and had a rock in the path, so it could look quite nice too if I just keep it in my path.
