Sierra Nevada Gold River Rock Boulders 2ft - 4ft - Price per ton
Cleaned, Sorted, and Palleted
These boulders are quarried out gravel beds along the rivers of central Sierra Nevada mountains. The surfaces on these boulders have been smoothed by thousands of years of river wash with sand and gravel wearing down the rough surfaces.
Bulk quarry direct shipments range in size from about 500 pounds to about 4,000 pounds and will have light amounts of river sediment or sand on them. Individual specimens and sized boulders that have been cleaned are available.
Larger specimens can be chosen from field photos and can be specially ordered. Bulk shipments on these boulders range from gold, tan, red, and brown color tones.
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?
Architects, public agencies, contractors and owner-builders requiring a competitive bid for the materials and transport costs should E-mail us with material specifications, amount and date needed and buyers contact information. We typically employ trucks with carrying capacities ranging from 17 to 26.5 tons.
Decomposed granite, crushed rock, gravel, sand and similar materials are typically hauled in;
Truck n Transfers from 24 to 26.5 tons,
End-dumps from 24 to 25 tons
Bottom and Side Dumps 25 tons
Super-10's from 10 to 17 tons

Product Specifications and Uses
Boulders, Stones, Cobble and Rip Rap are effective in creating scale, color and texture contrast in open landscapes, dry and wet creek features, waterfalls, 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 2-1/2 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.
