Where can I buy a single landscaping boulder in town? Something on the order of 18" x 30" max. Most places I found want me to buy a pallet or by the ton.

I have water runoff from my roof that goes into my flower bed. Want the water to his the rock instead of washing away my mulch.

Ask them to specify what they mean by "by the ton" or "by the pallet". Last time I bought stone, if only wanted part of what was on a pallet, they brought be an empty pallet and told me to put what I want on one pallet, and leave what I didn't want on the other one. Then a forklift came over, picked it up, put it on the scale, then put it on my trailer while I went inside to pay. Never got the impression they wouldn't sell a single boulder. They just don't want you leaving a mess behind when you're done sifting through what they have.

What you really need is gutters.

What are these "gutters" you speak of?

splashing water all over your brick and/or windows leaving deposits sounds like a good idea

Be sure to ask the store for an "Over the shoulder boulder holder" to carry your boulder when you find one.

Went not put down a bag or two of bull rock? Why does it have to be a large boulder? Or, just install gutters as previously suggested.

I have gutters. The roof line is such that if I put a splash guard or deflector on the gutter to prevent the water run off then it goes under my shingles and rots my decking. Poor roof design by the builder.

I went to Cowboy Trucking on the west side and got a 75lb moss rock for $10
