Founded in Illinois as a complement to landscape curbing, Boulder Designs has innovated solid concrete boulders that replicate natural stone since its founding alongside Border Magic in 1992. Relocated to Texas in 2015 under owner Butch Mogavero, the brand’s mission is to offer year-round creative opportunities, crafting custom shapes and sizes for commercial signage, residential accents, and more. Our distinctive process uses natural materials to produce engraved rocks deployed nationwide at restaurants, schools, parks, and attractions.
What sets Boulder Designs apart is its unrivaled lack of competition and versatile applications, from address markers to fire pits and monuments, fostering customer loyalty and community impact.

Roy and Carri D. are not only a husband and wife team, but their children are also involved in their Boulder Designs business. “Working as a family brings you closer as a family,” says Carri. Roy and Carri have interests in multiple businesses and are always on the lookout for a new business opportunity. They attended an Expo in Dallas where Boulder Design had a booth. Roy turned to Carri and said, “I don’t think we hit the back corner and it was the last thing we saw.” Upon seeing the Boulder Design booth, Carri was immediately drawn to the fire pit and Roy saw an “awesome” business opportunity. Their children are the creative ones-three work in the business while the youngest is a senior in high school. “It’s just a great business for families, and for me, I feel like these guys (corporate) are already like our family, “ says Roy. “Everyone is so down to earth, and they are terrific people.”
