TOUR OF SOUTH WEST BOULDER AND STONE

If you are in the market to buy gravel, boulders, decomposed granite and other hard surface materials then I would highly suggest you visit South West Boulder and Stone.  They have a wide assortment of hardscape materials to choose from.  They also have many locations across California.  

In this video I show you around their Fullerton location.  Their headquarters is in Fallbrook and is about 15 acres.  If you live in the OC then, Fullerton should be just enough for you.  But if you are in for a treat and have half a day to spare, then I would suggest visiting their Fallbrook site.  

In regards to their products, what I love is that they have a wide selection of choices to choose from.  They have multiple colors of decomposed granite and varying sizes and color of rocks/gravel.  They also (in my experience) have great customer service.  

THE RAIN GARDEN UPDATED TOUR

This garden was installed about a year ago.  The premise was to create a rain garden by having a dry creek bed and using California natives to attract the local wildlife.  We also wanted not to take away from the existing materials that the client had and wanted to keep.  As you will see in the video the gravel we added matches the existing gravel.  

This is the original video I made about the project.

This is the updated video of the project as the plants have matured more.
