Large rocks from old foundation

Posted by bccecil Z6 KY (My Page) on

I have rock from an old house foundation that was torn down. Many are quite large. Any ideas as to what I could do with them. They seem too large for beds or walls. What do you think. Some are about 1' x 1'x 2' or in that range.

Bcceil, how many stones do you have? If you have enough for the outside edge of a stone wall... why not?

Like the others, I would also love to get my hands on those stones! Here in CT we have a gazillion stone walls with magnificent bolder-sized rocks in them. To me there's no such thing as a stone that's too big to use somewhere.

Do any of your gardens lay on sloping ground? We put in a long garden that goes down to the river and used larger rocks to help terrace the garden into levels in order to prevent drainage washouts.

I've also used large stones along a garden path as garden hose "supports" to direct the hose so that it doesn't go over the plants. And, of course, any really great looking ones make fantastic accents in the garden.
