Landscape Rock and Boulder Placement

Rocks and boulders are not always a problem in landscaping. They can be used in many different ways throughout a landscape project. Rocks may be placed in strategic areas to mimic nature.

Landsite Development has years of experience in rock and boulder placement. Inexperienced rock placement can often result in a disjointed and cluttered appearance. Experienced rock placement aesthetically incorporates the rocks and boulders into the project.

Natural Appearance

To achieve a natural appearance, about two thirds of the rock or boulder should be exposed above ground.

Rocks and Boulders

Rocks and boulders are often used as alternatives or mixed in with block retaining walls. Rock walls need proper installation to include: fabric, gravel, and drainage in order to achieve and maintain stability. Rocks and boulders can also be used in the creation of water features and dry-streams.

A rock stairway system is another popular use of rocks. Stair systems can incorporate other hardscape applications such as pavers, flagstone, as well. Proper engineering is essential in planning stair systems. The professionals at Landsite Development are experienced and eager to provide you expert advice.
