Uses of Angular Boulders
As with all landscape boulders, they should be buried at least 1/3 in the ground to ensure they look as if they were uncovered by natural erosion processes and not dropped from the sky. Many of our angular landscape boulders can perfectly match dry stacked stone and masonrystone walls created from smaller sizes of the same stone. Here are some of the general uses of angular boulders you should know.
- Angular boulders are a good choice for stacking in retaining and site walls
- Use to create natural chairs, benches, and stairs
- Delineate borders of walking paths, driveways, and dry streambeds
- Placed on a sloping hill to assist with erosion control
- Used in water features and pool designs. *Please contact us prior to specifying for this application to ensure boulder variety in question is suitable for use in an aquatic environment*
