Landscaping rock installation cost

Question

I fancy some large rocks and boulders as features in the front garden. How do landscapers price this sort of thing, per rock or per day? No idea what the stone itself costs either

Dragos Daniel · Answer

Landscapers would normally price this as a complete job rather than simply per rock. The cost depends on the size, type and weight of the boulders, delivery access and whether machinery such as a mini digger is required. Smaller feature rocks may cost around £50–£150 each, while large decorative boulders can cost several hundred pounds each plus delivery. Installation could range from around £300–£1,000+ depending on quantity, access and ground preparation. A site visit is recommended for an accurate quotation.

Landscaping rock and boulder installations are usually priced based on the size and weight of the stones, the number required, access to the garden and the preparation needed. The stone itself can vary quite a lot in price.

For larger boulders, the labour is often priced as a job rather than simply per rock, especially if machinery or additional groundwork is needed. I’d recommend getting the landscaper to visit, discuss the look you want and then provide a quote covering the stone, delivery, preparation and installation.

Hi. The cost usually depends on the size and weight of the rocks, access to the area, and whether machinery is needed. It's normally priced as a complete installation rather than per rock or per day.
