What do you put between the rocks?
A: People use a variety of things: sand, pea gravel,
decomposed granite, plants, and mortar. We carry Gator
Dust that sweeps like sand into the cracks, you spray water
over the top, and when it dries it hardens like mortar. Gator
Dust can be used to fill up to 4" joints and you never have to
worry about weedy cracks, ant hills, or tracked sand and rock!
Do you have flagstone?
A: Yes we do. Flagstone is pieces of flat rock that usually range
in size from 2-3 feet long and 2-3 feet wide. They are heavy
and you will need two people to lay these without breaking
them. We carry a variety of colors and rock types.
Do you have flagstone that isn't so big?
A: Yes! We call that patio stone size. These range in size from
6-18 inches long and wide. One person can easily handle
laying these. We carry a variety of colors and rock types in
this size as well.
So how do you figure out how much rock you need?
A: For the thin, flat flagstone or patio stone that's in the 1-2"
range, you can figure that one ton of rock will cover
approximately 100-125 square feet. For the thicker pieces
that are 2-3" thick approximately 75 - 95 square feet per
ton. For the one man boulders you will only get about 20
square feet per ton. Each type of rock will cover differently
depending on it's size and thickness and how much space
you want to leave between each rock.
Do you have a way to deliver the decorative rock products?
A: We can deliver the decorative rock that is palletized only. In
full pallet increments we are able to put them on a flatbed
trailer that carries a forklift so we can deliver and place the
pallet where you want it. There is a delivery fee that reflects
the added equipment and time necessary to make these
deliveries.
So how much rock is there on a pallet?
A: Pallets can range from about 3000 to 4600 pounds each, with
the bulk of them falling into the 3500 pound area.
Is there a discount if you buy a pallet?
A: The discount is actually when you go over one ton or 2000
pounds.
