I have been making a rock garden,i think that's public knowledge by now Hilarious!
I am having a blast making it especially moving the big rocks around!! Rolling my eyes.
"move that big one over there dear" "no dear it doesn't work there" "put that one by the upright sedums" hubby answer's "the what,where??" Rolling on the floor laughing
enough picking on him, my hubby is a trooper. Lovey dubby

I have noticed that in most pictures of succulents,there are small pebbles in the pots or around the plants in beds.
Is this for looks,keeping so much soil from getting on the plants during rains,does it help[ prevent rot? Do i need to go ahead and put pebbles around my semp's.I also have Sedum 'reflexum' in my rock garden,i used pebbles in the soil in the area of that plant to be sure the drainage was good enough for that part of the bed.I would try to explain what i'm trying to accomplish but it's hard to explain a vision in my head when i'm having a hard enough time putting it in the ground. Confused Rolling my eyes.

Also one of the semp's in the group seems to be dying anyone have any advice as to what caused it or if there's anything i can do etc...

A green thumb comes only as a result of the mistakes you make while learning to see things from the plants point of view!!
