We placed two in a bed in the middle of our yard that we are just starting - there are 5 trees lining the fence but that's it so far. We planted those trees in the fall so they haven't grown yet, but they will EVENTUALLY be much larger. Plus we give them steroids (fertilizer stakes twice a year - they are MAGIC).
Hopefully they are placed close enough the boys can hop between from rock to rock when they get a little older.
And the two other boulders are in a bed along the side of our yard.
One of our next projects is to dig a trench and place the edger stones we've recently picked up in the ground. We weren't planning such a long bed here originally but our neighbors have let their yard get taken over by bermuda grass. It is almost impossible to prevent it from spreading into our fescue lawn so we decided to create a barrier, in the backyard at least. The bermuda hasn't taken over as much in their front yard (yet) but that is a much shorter length to fight.
We plan to rent a slit seeder in the next couple of weeks and try to get some grass growing in the backyard. Now that we have the irrigation system we hope we can at least start getting some grass. We have patches but it's mostly weeds since it wasn't sodded like our front yard.
Anyway, these pictures really don't give the boulders justice. Once we get a few more projects completed and everything starts getting green, I'll post better photos.
