- Hi, can you share what material the large steps from the porch to the first flagstone landing are made of? Looks like solid granite? Thank you so much for sharing. This photo is the inspiration for our new home's steeply sloped front yard. Beautiful!

How much sloope can this style of boulder wall stabilize?

- I love the look of this boulder wall that allows for plantings between the boulders. What is the slope of the grade here? Our yard has a 4' drop in some spots and I wonder if we can do this rather than a traditional boulder wall. Thank you!

The slope here runs from approx. 4' to about 6' high. the width from the the top of the slope (at the porch) to the bottom of the slope runs approx. 12 feet to 20 feet. How well this works really depends upon the site - drainage, access, width the slope can run, size of the boulders, type of plants as well as the type of material the ground/ slope consists of. Lots of variables, I hope that helps.

Strategically place boulders. Well-placed boulders can stabilize the grade as well as create microclimates for a variety of plants. By deliberately placing large boulders parallel to the top of the bed, you can create water-retentive planting pockets for moisture-loving plants. By placing smaller boulders perpendicular to the top of the bed, you can create well-draining areas for those plants that require those conditions. Custom soil mixes that retain or release water can further aid you in the creation of a unique mixed bed.
