Waterwash Gray boulders

Waterwash Gray has the soft shape that only water can give a rock. Each boulder is gray, smooth and rounded, with the worn look of a stone pulled from a riverbed. That makes it a natural fit for dry creek beds, pond edges and any garden meant to feel calm. The neutral gray goes with every house color and lets the plants around it take the lead.

Smoothed and rounded by water

The rounded form and smooth surface come from water wear. The gray is a true neutral that deepens when wet.

Streams, ponds and garden beds

Rounded boulders belong where water runs or looks like it could. Line a dry creek bed with them, set them at the edge of a pond or group a few in a bed of pebbles.

Add cobbles and pebbles around the base to complete the streambed look. See drought tolerant landscaping for dry creek layouts.

Picking sizes

A mix of sizes looks most natural. Choose one or two larger boulders, then fill in with medium and small ones.

Boulders are sold by weight, and the sizes in the yard change. Call (916) 363-4239, then come choose your pieces at 5300 Excelsior Road. Staff can refer you to a crane placement company for large boulders.
