Just curious how everyone with landscape rock handles the “inevitable” loss of rock when doing yard clean up. Is there a simple way to reduce the amount of rock that gets removed from raking and scooping up the trimmings?

Everything I’ve tried is tedious manual labor, messy, and time-consuming efforts. This is mostly where our planter borders the small lawn areas. The shrub clippings land in the rocks and lawn, then we rake it up. The rocks aren’t easy to separate out.

Aside from just getting more replacement rock, is there another trick that I haven’t discovered? It’s front yard in HOA, so ignoring the mess isn’t an option.
