How to Use Boulders in Your Landscape Design

Using boulders, especially ones that have been gathered locally, can create a rugged, natural look to any home landscaping project.

Benefits of Boulders

  • Using boulders in a flower bed can increase curb appeal by adding texture, height, and a focal point to your yard.

  • Boulders can help prevent erosion on slopes.

  • Boulders can be used as an alternative to concrete blocks or bricks in retaining walls.

  • Locally sourced boulders in your landscape design can help tie your yard to your natural surroundings.

  • Landscape boulders don’t need any maintenance! They’ll take on a more natural look as the years go on as dirt accumulates on the rock and moss and lichens take hold.

Using boulders in a retaining wall can help prevent erosion and incorporate landscaping into the natural surroundings.
