- With the flow line established, it's now time to position the boulders. If you're using boulders from your own yard, use a hand truck to move each rock into its pre-determined position. If you've purchased your boulders, have them delivered and put into place by the supplier.
- "Plant" the boulders by digging a shallow bowl for each one. Move the boulder into the bowl by rocking it into place. You can also use a prybar and a small rock underneath the bar to create leverage beneath the boulder.
- Place at least two other stones of different sizes near the boulder to give it a more natural look. Then fill in around the edges of your boulder and rocks with soil. Tamp it in place.
- Plant cottonwoods or other selected trees on the banks of the dry stream bed.
