Are you looking for options to protect your lawn, business or home from vehicles? Perimeter barricades are used to keep vehicles from entering areas for safety and protection, but not all are esthetically pleasing. One option that can add beauty and protection for your home or business is defense boulders. Here are some benefits to using boulders for your perimeter protection needs.

  • Natural beauty. Unlike boring bollards, boulders are natural and irregularly shaped for a beautiful look for your perimeter protection needs. They blend in with your landscaping while providing a valuable function.
  • No painting/repairs. The only thing that will need paint or repairs if someone hits your defense boulders is the vehicle. Boulders will stand up to almost any vehicle and will look no worse for the wear if they are hit, unlike metal or wood bollards. Low maintenance is one of the best benefits of using boulders for perimeter protection.
  • Durability. Defense boulders will last for decades, a worthy investment for your home or business. They do not rust and are unlikely to break, even after many years of service.
  • Excellent protection. Whether you just want to protect your lawn from vehicles driving on the grass or are protecting your business from attack, boulders offer excellent protection. They are functional, yet beautiful, for the best of both worlds.

If you are looking for a way to protect your perimeter without making your home or business look like a military fortress, defense boulders are a wonderful option. You can find large boulders suitable for perimeter protection through local quarries; many will deliver and place your boulders since they tend to be difficult to transport and move.

Do you have a driveway that borders your lawn? Many homes have this configuration and it can be detrimental to the health of the lawn. Vehicles that back onto the lawn or veer off the driveway can dig in tire tracks and make it hard to maintain healthy grass. While a fencing is one option, if it is hit, it will need repair. Another solution? Use decorative boulders to border your driveway to protect your lawn and add an interesting touch to your landscaping.

Using Boulders for Your Driveway Border

If keeping tires off your lawn has been a challenge, boulders can be an excellent deterrent. They are a natural, beautiful addition to your landscaping, but can stand up to abuse. Boulders do not need to be repainted or repaired if someone hits them; the same may not be true for the offending vehicle. It can ensure that those visiting your home stay off your lawn and remain on the driveway, protecting your lawn.

To add a boulder border to your driveway, visit your local landscape supply store that offers natural stone. You want boulders that are at least 18-inches high, large enough that they cannot easily be drove over without hitting a bumper. You will want to place them no farther than five-feet apart so that vehicles cannot drive between them. Measure the length of your driveway and divide by five for the number of boulders needed for each side. Many suppliers offer delivery, making it easy to get these large rocks to your home.

Not only do boulders look lovely and protect your lawn, they require little maintenance and will last a lifetime. Visit your local landscape supplier and explore the options for making your driveway boulder border.
