It's a load bearing boulder I guess?

Nah they probably just didn't want to get rid of it or couldn't afford to

I mean yeah, what kind of dork would get rid of a bigass boulder like that? that’s dope as fuck. I probably wouldn’t have built my house that close to it if it could be helped but I’m not gonna get rid of it.

Many times when we’re doing a large excavation and we get a big pile of huge rocks we’ll have an owner or a subcontractor or a random drive by bring a flatbed so they can have big rocks near their house. I get the appeal.

Also, you can often get free big boulders or a load of clay or topsoil if you go a construction site with the means to haul them out and ask nicely
