Boulders

Boulders

Boulders are the ultimate statement piece in any landscape — substantial, natural, and completely permanent. Whether you're building a retaining wall, anchoring a garden design, or controlling erosion on a slope, Hello Gravel offers boulder delivery by the ton, brought to your property by dump truck.

Natural boulders vary in size, shape, and color depending on the stone type and source. Their irregular, organic appearance is what makes them so striking — no two boulders are alike, and that uniqueness is a feature, not a flaw. Once placed, boulders require virtually zero maintenance and will look just as good decades from now as they do on day one.

Common Uses for Boulders

• Landscape boulders are used as focal points and anchor features in residential and commercial landscapes. A single large boulder nestled into a garden bed or at the edge of a water feature creates an instant sense of permanence and natural beauty that no manufactured product can replicate.
• Groupings of boulders are popular for creating naturalistic retaining walls, terracing sloped yards, and building raised planting beds with a rugged aesthetic. Unlike engineered block walls, boulder arrangements look like they've always belonged in the landscape — because, in a sense, they have.
• For erosion control, large boulders placed along slopes, stream banks, embankments, and drainage channels are one of the most effective and long-lasting solutions available. Their mass and irregular shape dissipate water energy and hold soil in place even under heavy flow conditions.
• Boulders are also used to define property boundaries, create natural seating around fire pits and gathering areas, line driveways, and frame water features like ponds and dry creek beds. Some homeowners use them to create steps on sloped properties, where their substantial size provides a stable, natural-looking tread.

Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!

We do not offer installation or spreading services as part of our material delivery.  However, depending on the location, site conditions, weather, and comfortability of the driver, we may be able to tailgate spread the material if the driver feels the location and conditions are suitable.

This involves slowly moving the truck forward while dumping the material to make it easier to distribute, but is not a guaranteed service.

We work fast to get your order delivered — often within 2 business days. Here’s what you need to know about cancellations and refunds:
