Boulders That Anchor Your Design

A xeriscape design benefits from focal points that draw the eye and break up large areas of rock or planting, boulders serve this purpose while requiring no water or maintenance of their own. We select boulder size, shape, and color to complement your overall xeriscape palette, and place them with proper technique so they look settled rather than simply set on top of the ground. Strategic boulder placement can also help define different zones within your xeriscape, subtly guiding how the space is read and used.
