Creating Dramatic Outdoor Water Features with Boulders and Slabs
Designing Natural Waterfalls
Designing a custom waterfall requires mimicking nature. Our moss rock boulders serve as sturdy anchor points, providing necessary height. Stacking these heavy stones ensures stability while crafting a visually stunning centerpiece that turns your yard into a retreat.
Selecting the Right Slabs
Selecting flat stones is crucial for water flow. We recommend large, flat sandstone slabs to create distinct spillways. These pieces direct water smoothly and provide a beautiful contrast to the surrounding vertical landscape boulders.
Creating Tranquil Ponds
Framing a pond properly is essential. Placing irregular boulders and slabs around the perimeter hides liner edges and softens the transition between land and water. This makes the feature look like it has existed on your property for decades.
Durability in Landscape Design
Water features face constant moisture and freezing temperatures. Sourcing high-quality local stone ensures your project withstands Colorado’s weather. Using our durable boulders and slabs guarantees your feature remains a permanent, low-maintenance asset for generations.
By utilizing the right combination of boulders and slabs, you can create a landscape that is structurally sound and breathtaking. At Loukonen Bros. Stone, we offer the finest quarry-direct materials. Visit our stone yard today to hand-pick the perfect stones for your next project.
