Boulder Installation Tips & Maintenance
Boulders are nature's masterpieces, and with the right approach, they can transform any space. But to ensure their majestic presence graces your landscape for years to come, understanding installation and maintenance is key.
Starting with the right foundation is crucial. Choosing the perfect spot, ensuring the ground is stable, and even conducting an assessment can make all the difference. Once you've got the groundwork sorted, the actual installation begins. While the beauty of a boulder lies in its raw, unrefined form, a few best practices can enhance its natural appeal. For instance, burying a portion of the boulder can make it appear as though it's been there for eons, blending seamlessly with the surroundings.
Maintenance is relatively straightforward. These resilient rocks require minimal upkeep. However, a gentle cleaning now and then, especially after seasonal changes, can keep them looking pristine. If your boulder has become a cozy home for moss, ensure you use safe removal methods that don't harm the stone's surface. And always, especially with the behemoths, ensure they're securely placed, keeping safety paramount. Sometimes, it's wise to seek professional installation for the larger variants to guarantee stability and peace of mind.
