Title: Hardscape Project Contractor


1
Making a boulder statement stone products for
awe-inspiring landscapes
2
Ever changing by the seasons, gardens are a
living and evolving scene.  One element in the
landscape, however, offers a feeling of
permanence without detracting from the natural
setting.  Boulders and stone material can lend
drama or complement the softness of surrounding
plants, and will add value and efficiency to a
property.

 They are natures sculptures and the ultimate in
drought-tolerant landscaping.  Choosing the right
one can make all the difference in completing the
gardeners vision.

Some common types to consider
5
Santa Barbara sandstone
  • Created by sand deposits over time along the
    coast, Santa Barbara sandstone scores high points
    in the use of native and locally sourced
    landscape materials. Its lightly marbled gold
    color is iconic of Southern California and as
    such serves as a suitable building material or
    simply as a complement to the regions
    architecture.  Often used in the landscape for
    rock outcroppings and dry riverbeds, the stone is
    easily cut or split and therefore offered in a
    wide variety of shapes and sizes.

Volcanic (lava) rock
  • Light in weight but bold in color, this material
    is a quick and easy way to bring an impressive
    focal point into the garden. As its name would
    suggest, the rock is formed by cooling molten
    lava that released air, thus creating its rough
    texture and irregular shapes.  This unique stone
    especially can be used to stand out against a bed
    of smaller, washed river stones in a lighter
    shade.

7
Granite
  • Receding glaciers long ago left a remarkable
    parting gift. Smooth and marbled with muted
    shades, granite boulders offer endless
    possibilities and utility in the landscape.  From
    rustic retaining walls to gorgeous accents, these
    neutral beauties can complement the intricacies
    of almost any planting scheme.

8
Of course moving boulders can be time consuming
and costly.  Consult with a landscape design
expert to determine the best type and ideal
location for boulders in garden beds.  A
contractor will likewise have the equipment and
know-how to safely deliver and place large stones
where they need to go.
