Boulders and outcroppings in Golden Valley
Boulders and Outcroppings in Golden Valley, MN
Natural stone placed with intent: boulder walls, outcroppings, rock gardens and accents that give a landscape weight and a sense of place.
Boulders and outcroppings for Golden Valley homes and businesses
Our landscape crews build across Hennepin County, and Golden Valley projects start with a visit to the property so the design fits the grade, the drainage and how you use the yard. Boulders and outcroppings is one of the services we install most often.
Boulders and outcroppings add visual interest and a natural element that block and plantings alone cannot. They work as retaining walls, as the backbone of a waterfall, as rock gardens, as a border around beds and trees, as steps along a path, or as a single standalone feature.
Placement is everything. A boulder dropped on the surface looks like a boulder dropped on the surface; one set a third of the way into the ground, oriented the way it would have settled naturally, looks like it has been there since the glacier left. We set stone with that in mind, so it creates balance and unity with the rest of the design.
We also provide boulders and outcroppings in Greenwood, Hopkins and Long Lake, so Golden Valley customers are on a route, never a special trip.

- Design and estimate, with the stone selected.
- The crew sets the stone and finishes the grade and plantings around it.
