Polished Top Gold Creek Basalt Column - Price Per Each
Basalt Rock California, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington State quarries. Buy American stone and demand certificates of origin from your basalt column provider. Most of the basalt columns sold by Pacific Northwest dealers and "manufactures" is imported from China and produced by slave labor or near slave labor conditions. The water that flows from these fountains has the blood of the innocents in it. These precisely constructed hexagonal monoliths, which were formed under the wildest of volcanic lava flow conditions, are proof of Mother Nature's brilliance as an architect. One of the most common types of rocks in the world is basalt, a type of volcanic rock. The long, solid columns of basalt are pretty common but still unique. These boulders are great for landscaping.
The long, solid columns of basalt are pretty common but still unique. The exterior skin or crust of the columns has a patina that varies in color from beige to crimson to black and frequently contains a rainbow of hues. Basalt has a deep shine when polished and a black interior.
Always Know What You Are Paying For In most cases, we charge by the ton and drivers often 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. The actual amounts loaded 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. For boulder and heavy rock hauling, we typically employ trucks with carrying capacities ranging from 10 to 25 tons. Loads of decorative boulders, rip rap, and rock ruble are typically moved with; End-dumps from 10 to 25 tons - loose bulk-loaded material or limited amounts of specimen material Super-10's from 10 to 17 tons - loose bulk loaded material or limited amounts of specimen material Flatbeds from 1 to 24 tons - palletized specimen boulders, pallet cribs with rock ruble or small boulders, and pallet wire baskets with ruble

Product Specifications and Uses
Gold Creek Basalt Rocks are largely used as
pondless water feature
fountain
even bird bath The gold creek basalt column has a distinctive aesthetic look that is popular in outdoor and garden landscaping. 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. Small boulders are easily moved with basic hand-pushed landscape equipment. Most boulders that are 3 feet or smaller can be easily handled by 2 or 3 healthy men or a small tractor. Work with boulders larger than 3 feet is likely to include some use of a tractor and skilled landscape construction staff. We offer boulder placement and equipment operating services in many locations, contact us for more information.
