In my opinion, the best use of landscape rock is to create breaks in the gardens through the use of boulders. Sorry so long, I'm new at this type of issue.
we're on a hill, the rocks are at the most downhill side of the house, they appear to be absolutely necessary and if they crumble, this house is going to be a complete do-over. Would the previous owners twenty years ago have possibly known that the rocks they purchased were limited to about 20 years before erosion would reveal their glorified-sandbag inner core? Or would they have been duped by aggregate salesmen who figured two decades from then it would at least be someone else's mess to explain? Is this common or am I being paranoid? I'm losing a lot of rock in a short amount of time and the house is starting to make loud snapping sounds right in the middle that we've never heard before. I would have assumed only metamorphic or igneous rocks would have been placed in lieu of a retaining wall as without them, this house would certainly catastrophically fail as if falling into a river from a flood. Mostly under the outer edge of the raised garage, I worry that these rocks will continue to slough and allow the whole garage/deck above it to eventually give way when these rocks erode enough to lose their structural integrity. Many of these rocks lie under the base of our garage, our back patio, they appear to be essential to the foundation.
They looked like metamorphic rocks until this year when they're losing layer after layer from the tops down and exposed is now a tan and sandy composition which is consistent through the whole rock top to bottom.
My husband and i just realized that the large (4'-5' lxW) dark rocks that surround the base of our split level home and it's added-on garage are starting to crumble from the top down.
