I think one reason we see rocks used badly is that it almost hurts to do things right - burying so much of the very boulder that we chose because it was so nice and big. They really have to be at least partially buried and hopefully with the layers running in the right direction so that it looks like a natural outcropping of the land.

I've beenreading up on that because we acquired several wonderful boulders when we excavated for the pond, and next time there's a backhoe in the neighborhood I have plans for them!

Burying boulders is very difficult to do. After all the hard work it takes to get that huge boulder into place, you don't want to bury half of it so it looks smaller. You want it to look big!

I know. It's actually harder tomake up your mind to do it right so that it looks like it belongs there than it is to actually bury it!
