How do you sell your products?
Our products in bins such as bark, compost, topsoil, decorative river rock, decorative landscape rock etc. are sold by the “scoop” one scoop is approximately one half of a cubic yard. We have built a one yard box which we practice dumping two scoops in for accuracy.
Most of the other products we sell are by the pound, such as boulders, flagstone, wall rock, etc.
Our Basalt Columns are sold by the foot and the Basalt Dish/Birdbath rocks are sold by the each.
All of our concrete products, pavers, wall blocks, steppers, etc. are sold by either the each or by the pallet depending on the product.
How much is the stone?
By the pound products vary from .08 per pound to .40 per pound. An average boulder 2 feet by 2 feet costs appx. $35 to $75 depending on the type of stone.
Our bark varies in price depending on type from $20 per scoop (1/2 cyd) to $28 per scoop. Our Decorative, Round River Rock varies from $14 per scoop (1/2 cyd to $19 per scoop. And our decorative Landscape Rock varies from $23 per scoop (1/2 cyd) to $35 per scoop.
How many pounds are in a “scoop”?
