Tons vs. Yards and Square Feet.
In most cases, we charge by the ton and we have the receipts from the scale house at the quarry to show upon request. Materials sold by the yard tend to have very inaccurate amounts in the trucks. Amounts depend on the size of the loader bucket, how well the material was scooped up and who was supervising the loading of the truck. Scale House totals don't lie, so why take a chance on losing money and time with how many square feet, scoops, skips, and or dumps were made in loading the truck?
Architects, public agencies, contractors, and owner-builders requiring a competitive bid for the materials and transport costs should E-mail us with material specifications, the amount and date needed, and the buyer's contact information. We typically employ trucks with carrying capacities ranging from 17 to 26.5 tons.

Truck n Transfers from 24 to 26.5 tons,
End-dumps from 24 to 25 tons

Product Specifications and Uses
Boulders, Stones, Cobble, and Rip Rap are effective in creating scale, color, and texture contrast in open landscapes, dry and wet creek features, waterfalls, and ponds. Boulders, Stones, Cobble, and Rip Rap are also very effective at steering foot traffic away from primary plantings to prevent damage to plants and worn-out sections of the landscape.
Despite how common basalt is, it is rare to find the lengthy, sturdy columns of basalt that we employ for our products. Large portions of the ancient lava flow in Washington State were forced to contract as a result of cooling rather quickly. Basalt columns with unusual 5 and 6-sided shapes were created as a result of the quick cooling and contraction that occurred. The exterior skin or crust of the columns has a patina that ranges in color from beige to red to black and frequently contains a rainbow of hues. Basalt is black on the interior and polishes to a rich brilliance.
Basalt Rock Columns are largely used as
pondless water feature
fountain
even bird bath
Basalt Rock Columns look great in any waterscape or hardscape garden. These columns provide excellent value that improves your landscaping project right away.
