# Landscape boulders for sale

Mid Valley Rock has landscape boulders for sale at its Sacramento yard, from about 6 to 8 inches across (around 30 lb) up to 4 by 4 feet (around 4,000 lb).

They are used for walls, focal accents, waterfalls and edges around pools and ponds.

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 questions

Still unsure? Call the yard at [(916) 363-4239](tel:+19163634239). We are happy to talk it through.

### How big are your boulders?

They range from about 6 to 8 inches across, around 30 pounds, up to about 4 by 4 feet, around 4,000 pounds. What is on hand changes, so call to check.

### How are boulders priced?

Boulders are sold by weight. Prices change with freight and quarry costs, so call or visit for a current quote.

### Can you help place a large boulder?

We can refer you to a crane placement company for large boulders. For smaller rocks we rent dollies by the day.

### What is the difference between natural and quarried boulders?

Natural boulders are found on the surface and have weathered faces. Quarried boulders are blasted from a quarry and tend to have fresher, sharper faces.

### Which boulders work in a waterfall?

Tell us the rock will sit in water. Some stone does not handle constant water or chemicals well, and we will guide you to a good fit.
