"He pruned six camellia trees he did not clean up some of the mess. While pruning a Laurel he walked all over the flowers around it then while raking up he managed to uproot a newly planted vine and added it to the refuse. I had to take all the flowers out of the flower bed myself. They also forgot to plant one of the requested flower beds into grass. That was bad enough but his grass still is not growing. Everything I planted the next week is growing! The old rubber and plastic borders that I REALLY needed hauled to the dump never left as he was in a hurry to leave and saw he would return the next weekend to take away. NOT! Being a trusting person I did not check his work before I paid him. As I felt his charge was exorbitant for three hours of work I paid it thinking he was going to return to finish the job. Now I know it is too much"

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.
