Lompoc Boulders

Lompoc boulders bring a warm, light tone to a landscape. They are creamy tan with gold and gray highlights, a palette that looks at home with Mediterranean plantings, drought-tolerant gardens and light stucco. Boulders are the backbone of many designs. A few well-placed stones give a yard structure and a natural feel. Lompoc pairs well with the other Lompoc stones in the yard, so you can match boulders, wall stone and flagstone in one color family.

Look and color

The creamy tan base keeps a design light and bright. Gold and gray highlights add depth, especially after a rain.

Because Lompoc is a light stone, it shows up well against dark mulch or green groundcover.

Where to place Lompoc boulders

Use single boulders as focal points in planting beds, group several on a slope, or set them along a dry creek bed. They also work around pools and ponds.

Our boulder landscaping ideas and drought-tolerant ideas show how to use them well.

Lompoc boulders also make a light-colored edge for a dry creek, set on both banks with smaller river rock from Roundtree Rock and Gardening, our sister company in the same yard.

Sizes and moving them

Boulders run from 6 to 8 in pieces around 30 lb up to 4 by 4 ft stones around 4,000 lb. See boulder sizes and weights.

A dolly is available to rent by the day for smaller stones. For large boulders, the yard can refer you to a crane placement company.
