Boulders in <18" Size Range

Boulders in a size range of less than 18 inches are large, naturally occurring stones that have been selected or processed to meet specific dimensional requirements. These substantial stones are typically sourced from quarries or riverbeds and may be left in their natural state or lightly shaped for uniformity.

The sub-18" size range makes these boulders versatile for both structural and decorative uses. Their substantial mass provides excellent stability for erosion control, retaining walls, and landscape edging, while still being manageable for placement with standard equipment. In residential and commercial projects, these boulders are commonly used for accent features in gardens, water features, property borders, and as natural seating. Their size offers a strong visual impact without overwhelming smaller spaces.

Pros include durability, low maintenance, and natural aesthetics. However, due to their weight, installation may require machinery and careful planning. Overall, <18" boulders are a practical and attractive choice for a wide range of landscaping and construction applications.
