Black Academy Granite Boulders Specimens
Gabbros rock
Central California rock quarry shipping bulk throughout California and the USA.
The black granite known as "Black Academy" comes from the Academy pluton, a 'granite' igneous intrusion at the western edge of the Sierra Nevada mountains. The dark gray to black granite at Academy was formed by magma slowly crystallizing as it cooled below the surface of the Earth.
Black Academy Granite Landscape Boulders are an amazing choice for enhancing any outdoor space. They have a beautiful deep black color that adds a touch of elegance to the landscape. The boulders feel smooth and polished to the touch, giving a luxurious look and feel. You can use them in many ways, like making garden beds stand out, excellent for water features, creating paths, or even making cozy sitting areas.
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.
