Boulders

Boulders can be naturally occurring or blasted from a rock quarry. They are used for walls and focal accents in the landscape, for waterfalls, around swimming pools and ponds. We have a good selection of boulders in a variety of colors. They range in size from 6 to 8 inches in diameter weighing 30 pounds all the way up to 4 by 4 feet weighing 4,000 pounds. The smaller boulders are in wire baskets, and the larger boulders are loose. Many of the large boulders require crane placement.
