Materials6 Ways to Use Landscape Boulders to Create Outdoor Features
If you want to add a unique touch to your landscaping, consider the addition of boulders to transform your space. Not only are they aesthetically appealing, but the durability of boulders means they can be a permanent feature on your property. Garrity Stone, Inc. offers an abundant selection of boulders in various sizes and colors that can visually impact your home. Let’s look at six ways you can incorporate landscape boulders into your landscaping this summer.
1. Accent Features
A boulder can make for an unexpected accent feature that coordinates with your landscaping or stands out as a striking focal point. Strategically placed in your garden, it can draw the eye as a centerpiece surrounded by plants and flowers.
2. Seating Areas
To create some natural seating areas in your garden or anywhere on your property, try arranging some boulders where you typically gather. You can form a circle of boulders around a fire pit or place some boulders in a cluster near your pond.
3. Rock Gardens
Why not dedicate an entire landscaping feature to some colorful boulders? You can design a low-maintenance rock garden with varying colors and shapes of boulders, along with some of your favorite plants and ground covers.
4. Water Features
Boulders can be incorporated into water features like waterfalls, ponds, and streams. You can place boulders at the base of a cascading waterfall, around the edge of a pond, or along the sides of a stream. They will complement the water nicely to create a tranquil retreat.
5. Natural Borders
Suppose you want to highlight the borders around your garden beds, along your driveway, or even along your property line. In that case, boulders can serve this functional purpose in a visually pleasing way. You can even use boulders of different sizes for a more natural look.
6. Decorative Elements
Perhaps you just need a natural decorative element in your outdoor living area to add ornamentation. If you have any open spaces in your yard that could use some embellishment, add a uniquely shaped boulder that coordinates with the color of your home for a visual anchor.
