How to Use Boulders in Your Landscape Design

 
In Minnesota, we’re lucky to have a variety of natural rock available. Using boulders, especially ones that have been gathered locally, can create a rugged, natural look to any home landscaping project. Here at KG Landscape , we like to use boulders in many different colors and textures to complement the home and any plantings you intend to add.  

Benefits of Boulders

Using boulders in a retaining wall can help prevent erosion and incorporate landscaping into the natural surroundings.

Drawbacks of Boulders

Tips for Using Boulders

These boulders blend into the plant beds.

This garden uses boulders along with plants of varying heights to create visual interest.
