River Rock
River rock has been reshaped and curved over time. Once sharp and jagged, these rocks adorned stream and river for centuries until they transformed into the smooth, round pieces we have today. Dry creek beds and water features are widespread uses of this material.
 
Stack
Over time, these rocks have been battered by the elements to give it a unique, natural appearance. Browns, tan, and gray are present on the outside but chipped away the outer shell to reveal vibrant reds, pink, and purple on the inside. Uses include stacked walls, boarders, fireplaces, edging, columns and even water features. If there is something you can build with rock, chances are you can use these.
 
Stepper
For years, these rocks have been battered by the elements giving them a unique, natural appearance. Steppers are rustic and worn stepping stones, irregular in shape. Generally 5″ to 10″ thick. Steppers add an interesting touch to any pathway.
 
Veneer
Veneer or thin cut stone is ideal for building stacked rock walls, edging for landscape beds, and especially for veneer walls. Thickness of this stone ranges from 3/4″ to 1 1/2″. Colors range from light and dark brown, gray, blue, black, green, and burgundy.
