Uses for Boulders

There are many practical and visually appealing functions of boulders which make them very popular for use in private and commercial landscaping. Some of the many uses for boulders on a property include:

  • Traffic diversion – On your property you may have the need to guide visitors on a particular path to avoid them traveling on certain areas of your property. You may also need to establish barriers for driving or parking. In these situations, the strategic placement of boulders can be a big help.
  • Seating – When smoothed and flattened, boulders can actually make very attractive benches for seating. You might place these boulder benches in the middle of a serene garden or flower bed, or along the side of a water feature.
  • Dramatic effect – There’s no better way to draw attention to your property or a particular feature of your landscape than by bringing boulders into the mix. These interesting stones will add interest to your lawn and can also enhance other elements.
  • Retaining Wall – Constructing a retaining wall from boulders can add an extremely unique and interesting aspect to your property. If you are considering using boulders for this purpose you should consult with a retaining wall expert before beginning work.

Design Tips for Boulder Use

There are many practical and visually appealing functions of boulders which make them very popular for use in private and commercial landscaping. Some of the many uses for boulders on a property include:

  • Arrange them in groups – It’s not very common to find just a single boulder standing by itself in nature. To give your landscape a more natural appearance it’s in your best interest to either arrange boulders together in various clusters or to place several boulders in strategic locations throughout your property.
  • Create depth – Add depth and dimension to your landscape by placing a large boulder next to smaller stones and boulders of different shapes. You can also incorporate plants of varying heights to serve this purpose.
  • Consider scale – Keep your property looking smart and attractive by planning boulder placement based upon scale. Larger boulders should be placed next to larger plants and objects, and smaller boulders will look better near smaller landscape features.
