Dakota Brown boulders

Dakota Brown is a landscape boulder with a warm, reddish brown color. It is a working stone, chosen by homeowners and landscapers who want boulders that look right in a yard and are simple to design around. Reddish brown sits comfortably with wood fences, bark, red brick and tan gravel, so it is easy to place.

A warm reddish brown

The color is the main thing to know about Dakota Brown. The reddish brown gives a planting bed some warmth through every season.

Stone color shows best in person. Stop by, look at the boulders in daylight, and ask staff to wet one so you can compare the dry and wet tones.

Using it in the landscape

Landscape boulders do several jobs. One large piece can mark an entry or a corner. A group of three can break up a long bed. A row can edge a bed or a driveway.

They also suit drought-tolerant landscaping, where stone takes the place of thirsty lawn. Tell staff about the setting and they will suggest sizes and counts.

Getting boulders home

Boulders are weighed when you buy. Smaller ones can be loaded by hand, and bigger ones need equipment. Ask about delivery, which runs Monday through Saturday.

For very large pieces, staff can refer you to a crane placement company. Call (916) 363-4239 to talk through the job.
