See it in the yard. 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.
