Locke’s Landscaping provides outdoor living and enjoyment to discriminating tastes. We understand that a beautiful house can be a “canvas unfinished,” simply a beautiful house. A professionally landscaped house becomes a home, an invitation not only to friends and family, but to nature itself, in creating a tranquil outdoor retreat from the stresses of everyday life–right outside your door.
"A+'s in all categories! This was a small job at a busy time, contracted right after the first Covid-19 lockdown was lifted. Chris came on the day I called, sent estimate in under 24 hours, and scheduled work ASAP, keeping me informed all along and responding to all emails and calls immediately, despite his backlog of larger projects. His team were all very courteous, worked hard, quickly, and carefully in high heat, and did a beautiful job renovating a highly deteriorated walk with high quality pavers and edging. It is beautiful. DO get an estimate, as mine was QUITE reasonable and by far the lowest of the three I got."

We are a smaller family owned business that help home owners, property management companies, condo associations and commercial property owners who are disappointed by the insufficient level of personalized, quality service from their landscape & snow management company, frustrated with the lack of professionalism and are ultimately fed up with the inadequate results that come with being sold on the basis of the cheapest price. Blade Runners has been servicing residential & commercial properties in the area since 2002. We are recognized for our affordable, reliable, high-quality service and are fully licensed and insured in the State of Michigan. Our friendly, uniformed staff and top-of-the-line equipment reflect a positive image for the homeowners and businesses that choose Blade Runners and demonstrates the pride we have in being an active member of the community.

Most landscape boulders weigh approximately 150 pounds per cubic foot, though this can vary slightly depending on the specific stone type. This substantial weight explains why professional installation is often recommended, as even modestly sized boulders can be challenging to maneuver safely.
When planning your project, consider that a standard pickup truck can safely transport only a few medium-sized boulders before reaching weight capacity limits.
The appropriate boulder size depends on your property's scale and your design objectives. Average residential properties often work well with boulders in the 24 to 36-inch range, providing visual impact without overwhelming the space. Compact yards benefit from smaller 12 to 24-inch specimens that add texture without dominating. Larger properties can accommodate statement pieces of 48+ inches that create dramatic focal points in expansive landscapes.
The timeline for landscape boulder installation ranges from a single day to several days, depending on project scope. Simple arrangements with a few medium-sized boulders might be completed in just hours. More extensive projects involving multiple large boulders, site preparation, and complementary features can extend to a week or more.
Weather conditions significantly impact scheduling, as wet ground can complicate equipment access and placement stability.
Self-installation is feasible for smaller boulders under 200 pounds if you have appropriate tools and basic landscape knowledge. For larger specimens, professional installation is strongly recommended due to safety concerns and equipment requirements.
Improper handling techniques can result in personal injury or property damage. For comprehensive landscape designs or challenging site conditions, professional expertise ensures proper placement for both aesthetic appeal and long-term stability.
