Natural Outcroppings

Our universal landscaping, accent rocks originate from a unique history. They are believed to have started their formation billions of years ago. The colors vary as the results of years of water, sand and iron forming together. It is said that the glaciers moved through Minnesota, they pushed rock into outcroppings. Later in history, as the buffalo herds roamed the vast prairies, they used these boulders to rub their backs against, thus leaving behind the polished, smooth look you will see in many of the boulders, thus, "buffalo rubbed rocks" became to be.

The quartzite rock is one of the hardest forms of rock. It can be used in a variety of ways, ranging from retaining walls to steppers, accent rocks, pond rocks (bubblers), or customized billboards... Just let your imagination take you...

The various size and shapes are natural outcroppings. They range from 10 to 10,000 pounds. Colors range from pink to purple, multicolored and a wood grained look. When used in ponds or waterfalls the rocks' natural beauty is enhanced by the flowing of water.
