There are many practical and visually appealing functions of boulders which make them very popular for use in private and commercial landscapes. Below includes just a few possible uses for boulders:

 

• 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 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.
