Boulders - Coquina

Coquina boulders are large, naturally occurring stones composed primarily of compressed shell fragments and limestone. Formed over thousands of years along ancient shorelines, coquina is prized for its unique texture and light, sandy coloration. The boulders are typically irregular in shape, offering a distinctive, organic look for landscaping and construction projects.

The coquina attribute sets these boulders apart, as the porous structure makes them lighter than many other stone types, while still providing durability. This material is especially valued for decorative applications, such as garden accents, retaining walls, and shoreline stabilization. In commercial settings, coquina boulders are often used for erosion control and as natural barriers. While their porous nature enhances drainage and reduces weight, it also means they may be less suitable for high-traffic structural uses compared to denser stones. Overall, coquina boulders offer a blend of natural beauty and functional versatility for both residential and commercial projects.
