Boulders in an 8" to 18" Size Range

Boulders in the 8" to 18" size range are large, naturally occurring stones selected for their substantial size and durability. These boulders are typically sourced from quarries or riverbeds and are left in their natural state, offering a rugged and organic appearance. Their significant mass and size make them ideal for projects requiring both structural stability and visual impact.

The 8" to 18" size range is particularly valued for its versatility in landscaping and construction. These boulders are commonly used for retaining walls, erosion control, property borders, and as focal points in landscape design. Their large size ensures they stay securely in place, even in high-traffic or high-water areas, and they require minimal maintenance. While their weight and bulk can make installation more challenging, the result is a long-lasting, natural feature that enhances both residential and commercial projects.
