Moss Rock boulders

Moss Rock gives a new yard an old look on day one. It is gathered from the surface of the ground rather than blasted from a quarry, so each boulder arrives carrying patches of lichen and moss. Homeowners use it to make a planting bed look settled. Landscapers use it for walls and borders that blend into oaks and native plants. Come walk the pallets and pick the faces you like.

What makes it field stone

Field stone is rock gathered from the surface of the ground instead of quarried. Moss Rock is brown, with lichens and moss.

The lichen and moss are part of the product. They grow slowly, so a boulder that already carries them brings instant age to a garden. Turn each rock in the yard to find the best face before it goes on the truck.

Where Moss Rock works best

It suits natural and native plant gardens, dry creek beds, slopes and borders along paths. A few large pieces placed with a good face forward can anchor a whole bed.

Smaller pieces can be dry-stacked into low walls and edging. See more layouts on our boulder landscaping page.

Keeping the moss alive

Moss and lichen like shade and some moisture. Set the mossy face away from the hottest afternoon sun if you want to keep it, and avoid pressure-washing or sealing it.

Boulders are sold by weight, so bring rough sizes and counts and staff will quote by phone or at the yard. For very large pieces, ask about a referral to a crane placement company.
