A Buyer's Guide to Limestone Boulders in Fort Worth, TX: Sizes, Ordering, and Delivery
If you’re pricing limestone boulders in Fort Worth, TX for a landscape project, it helps to know how a stone yard actually sells them before you call. Boulders are ordered differently than a bag of mulch, and the size, the weight and the access to your site all shape the final number.
