When we arrived in Sequim to our newly built house I’d not thought much about stuff like gravel and crushed rock. That changed fast. The wet soil around our home was a sea of thick, sticky mud. When we haven’t hauled trailer loads of rock to build walkways to and from our doors trucks like this have come and dumped mother lodes of it.
Blake is one of the local spots for rock, from the little stuff to big, ornamental boulders.
They also sell pavers, concrete masonry units (“CMU”), flue tiles and such.
awesome company, awesome people
A good business to provide home owners like you with the material you need. I collect just very small stones. I noticed today that my kitchen window sills are lined with small stones from Schoolhouse Beach on Washington Island in Door County, Wisconsin. I have built 3 small cairns (glued together–I cheated) that I also keep on windowsills. I may not use the same size rocks as you do, but I appreciate them also!!
We see businesses like this here as well- they do come in handy.
We bought stones from a place like this to make a nice border around our garden. Of course, that was back in the days when we had a garden!
Down this away we use pavers and stuff, too, but also those huge cocina rocks they dig out of the ground made up of seashells and limestone…
After living in CA for so long I was surprised at all the rock walls and stone pathways in WA when we first arrived – but, like you, we soon saw the need for it. And love the stone buildings constructed long ago from local quarries.
