Zebra at Mid Valley Rock
Zebra Colors vary by pallet and wet vs dry. See it in the yard.

Zebra is hard to miss. Black granite forms the body of the boulder, and bands of white marble swirl through it. The pattern is bold and graphic, with no two boulders alike. It is a natural choice for modern landscapes, and it adds a sharp accent to traditional ones.

Black granite, white marble

The contrast is what sets Zebra apart. The white bands curve and swirl across the black, so the boulder changes as you walk around it.

Look at every side before you choose. One face may show wide bands, another thin ones. Pick the face that suits the view from your window or patio.

Designing with a high-contrast boulder

A strong pattern needs a simple setting. Zebra stands out on a bed of plain gravel or pebbles, among grasses, or beside clean-lined paving.

Black and white also goes with any color scheme. One boulder near an entry or a water feature can serve as garden sculpture. If it will sit in water, let staff know so they can advise.

Buying Zebra boulders

As with all boulders at the yard, Zebra is weighed at purchase. Come see the pieces in person and bring a photo of where the boulder will go.

Availability depends on recent loads, and special orders are possible when a stone is out. Hours are Monday to Friday 7:00 am to 4:00 pm and Saturday 7:30 am to 3:00 pm.
