Boulders can be naturally occurring, with weathered surfaces and lichen, or blasted from a quarry with fresher faces and sharper lines. A well-placed boulder anchors a planting bed, holds a slope or turns a plain corner into a focal point. We keep a wide range of colors and textures in the yard, from moss rock to volcanic lava to sandstone. The best way to choose is to walk the rows and see them in person. Bring photos of the spot so we can help you pick shapes that fit.
How to buy landscape boulders by weight
Boulders are sold by weight. You choose your rocks in the yard, and a Weighmaster records the weight less the pallet. Bring rough sizes and counts, or a photo of the spot, and staff will quote by phone or at the yard. For the biggest pieces, ask about a referral to a crane placement company.

What is the difference between natural and quarried boulders?
