Boulders >16" Size Range

Boulders in a size range greater than 16 inches are large, naturally occurring or quarried stones commonly used in landscaping and construction. These substantial stones are typically sourced from quarries or riverbeds and may vary in shape and texture, offering a rugged, natural appearance.

The large size of these boulders makes them ideal for projects requiring significant visual impact or structural stability. They are frequently used for retaining walls, erosion control, property boundaries, and as focal points in landscape design. In commercial settings, boulders serve as barriers, slope stabilization, or decorative features in public spaces. While their size provides excellent durability and resistance to movement, it also means they require heavy equipment for placement and are not suitable for applications needing fine grading or compaction.
