Apache Sunset Boulders 2 to 3 feet in size Southern California quarry producing a wide range of materials from DG fines to very large boulders. Materials are shipped bulked throughout Southern and Central California and on pallets anywhere requested. Apache Sunset Rock, also known as Honey Quartz, is a very hard rock material that is a semi translucent grey colored rock covered in full or in patches with a mineral patina that varies from burnt yellow, orange, red and purple tones. These very rugged quartz boulders feature red and yellow mineral patina coatings against a strong grey surface. Once installed into the landscape the minerals in the patina continue to develop the natural rustic look. These are "quarry run" boulders and irregular in shape. The rock is literally blasted off the hillside and then selected by skilled equipment operators. See our Pinterest page for more photos of this material Apache Sunset Boulders are an ideal rock material for creating Western and Southwestern landscapes due to rich rising and setting sun color tones on the rock. Apache Sunset is also very cost competitive against other similar rock material, allowing for far larger boulders to used at a far lower expense.

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 in-accurate amounts in the trucks. Amounts depend 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?
