10. How much time do you need to
setup delivery? We ask for two days
whenever possible, but talk to us if you need it
sooner and we'll work hard to accommodate your
schedule. It makes it easier on everyone involved if
there is a comfortable time frame to work in.
11. How much is delivery?
It depends upon the amount and type of stone and
location.
12. How much does each rock weigh, or how
many are in a ton?
It varies greatly because there are many different
sizes, or grades. For example, we have 5 different
sizes of the Iron Mountain alone, which allows a
range of 60-225 sq.ft. per ton.
13. How much stone will I need for my
project?
Estimate how much you'll need by measuring your
square footage, which is length x width. This
applies to walkways or patios, and walls too. Since
there are different thicknesses of the stone and
depending on the application, it can vary a lot.
Visit our how to page for further details, or stop
by the store and the square foot coverage is posted
on our signs, and included in our pricelist.
14. Do you sell crushed gravels, or
other ground cover such as bark?
The only ground cover we offer is rainbow
river rock and it is available in many different
sizes.

offer?
Pond supplies (including pumps, liners, hose
and fittings), granite statuaries, diamond cutting
blades, custom hand carved birdbaths and bubblers.
16. Do I have to load my own vehicle?
We have equipment to assist loading your vehicle,
however if you have a smaller enclosed vehicle
please keep in mind we may be limited as to what can
be loaded.
17. Do you have samples available?
Yes, we encourage you to take as many samples as you
need.
18. What is a 1-man or 2-man rock?
It's the general size of a boulder considered in
terms of how many men it would take to move it using
a large bar for leverage. A one-man rock is a rock
up to 300 lbs. A two man rock is about 300-1,000
lbs.
19. Do you design or install?
No, but we would be happy to pass along a
recommendation of landscape designers/contractors or
stone masons. |
