Water Outcropping Surface

Water Outcropping Surface is stone on a large scale. These are big slabs in a dark brown, sized for jobs where a normal boulder would look small. Lay one flat and it becomes a bench. Set one at the top of a waterfall and it becomes a wide spillway. Place one at a pond and it becomes the spot where everyone sits.

Big dark brown slabs

The dark brown color gives these slabs weight and presence. They look natural beside water, plants and lighter gravel, and they frame a pond well.

Since each slab is a different shape, the best approach is to walk the yard with your measurements and choose the piece that fits.

Benches, spillways and pond sides

A flat slab on two supports makes a simple, lasting bench. On a waterfall, a broad slab spreads the water into a wide sheet as it falls. Beside a pond, a slab gives a level place to stand, sit or feed fish.

Tell staff about the water feature you are planning. Our water features page has more on building with stone and water.

Moving and placing a slab

Big slabs call for planning. Think about access to the back yard, gate width and where equipment can reach. Staff can refer you to a crane placement company for the largest pieces.

Ask about delivery, offered Monday through Saturday. Slabs are sold by weight, with quotes by phone or at the yard.
