It's a matter of personal taste, but in my opinion, there's a reason the "native" rocks and trees are called Obstacles, and not decorations. They're just in the way. If I could pick them up and place them somewhere, instead of getting rid of them, that'd be a different story. They might actually be part of my design then. But having random rocks and trees scattered around wasn't helping me any; I wanted a clean slate to work with. I don't think I'm missing anything by not seeing the holiday decorations stuck in rocks and trees, either.
