Boulders - Limerock

Limerock boulders are large, naturally occurring stones composed primarily of limestone, a sedimentary rock known for its durability and classic appearance. These boulders are typically sourced from quarries and are left in their natural, rugged form, making them ideal for a variety of landscaping and construction applications.

The limerock attribute is significant because limestone is both strong and relatively easy to shape or stack, offering excellent longevity and resistance to weathering. Limerock boulders are commonly used in residential and commercial projects for retaining walls, erosion control, decorative landscape features, and boundary markers. Their substantial size and weight make them effective for stabilizing slopes and creating natural barriers, while their neutral color palette blends well with most environments. One consideration is that, due to their size and weight, installation may require heavy equipment and professional handling.
