Tree Boulders

Tree Boulders make people look twice. They are naturally occurring boulders, yet they resemble split tree trunks. That shape opens up uses all its own. They are often used for shallow planting and water features, or simply set in the landscape as a conversation piece. Since each one is formed by nature, the yard is the place to see what shapes are available.

Stone that looks like a split trunk

The trunk-like form is natural. Every Tree Boulder has its own length, curve and character, so choosing one is a bit like choosing a piece of sculpture.

Planting, water and landscape uses

For shallow planting, tuck succulents or other small plants into the boulder for a living centerpiece. In a landscape bed, a Tree Boulder laid on its side reads like a fallen log that will last for generations.

They are also used in water features. Let staff know your plan, and read choosing stone for water features and our water feature ideas.

Choosing a Tree Boulder

Visit the yard and walk around each piece to see it from every side. Take a photo of the spot at home along with rough measurements.

Boulders are sold by weight. Call (916) 363-4239 to ask what is in the yard, and ask about delivery for larger pieces.
