Boulders & Natural Stones
What Are Boulders & Natural Stones in Landscaping?
Boulders and natural stones are structural and decorative elements used in landscape design to add depth, texture, and visual interest to outdoor spaces. In Edmonton, these materials are especially popular because they’re durable, weather-resistant, and blend well with both modern and rustic yard designs. Whether used for edging, focal points, water features, or erosion control, natural stone offers both form and function that lasts through the seasons.
Key features of using boulders and stones in landscaping include:
- Natural granite, limestone, or fieldstone that holds up in freeze-thaw cycles
- Stone edging for garden beds, walkways, and driveways
- Decorative boulders used as focal points or accents in open spaces
- Stone outcroppings or retaining features to manage elevation and drainage
- Rock groundcovers that reduce weeds and retain soil moisture
These materials are ideal for Edmonton yards needing durable, low-maintenance options that also improve aesthetics and structure.
