HARDSCAPE GUIDE · BEND, OREGON · 2024
Boulders and natural rock are some of the most striking elements you can add to a Central Oregon landscape. They're low-maintenance, drought-tolerant, and look completely at home in Bend's high desert environment. Here's what boulder landscaping costs in Central Oregon.
| Boulder Size | Material Cost | Delivery + Placement |
|---|---|---|
| Small (100–300 lbs) | $50–$150 | $200–$500 |
| Medium (300–800 lbs) | $150–$400 | $400–$800 |
| Large (800–2,000 lbs) | $400–$1,000 | $600–$1,500 |
| Feature boulder (2,000+ lbs) | $1,000–$3,000+ | $1,000–$3,000+ |
The difference between a boulder landscape that looks natural and one that looks like rocks were just dropped in a yard is placement. Natural rock outcroppings always have boulders partially buried, tilted at the same angle, and grouped in odd numbers.
Our design team has placed thousands of boulders across Central Oregon. We know how to make rock look like it belongs — because in Bend's volcanic landscape, it does.
PRO TIP
Partially burying boulders (1/3 of the rock below grade) makes them look natural and anchors them so they don't shift. Never place boulders flat on the surface — it always looks artificial.
