Boulders
Boulders are the ultimate anchor pieces for a landscape, offering a sense of permanence and raw, natural beauty that manufactured materials can’t replicate. Beyond their use as dramatic focal points, they can be engineered into incredibly robust retaining walls that excel at holding back significant soil pressure.
However, because of their immense weight and scale, they are one of the most challenging materials to install; they almost always require specialized heavy machinery and professional expertise to move and set safely. Before integrating them into your design, it is vital to consider site access for equipment and the high-impact nature of the installation process.
