Select the Rock Style That's Right for Your Application

Rockworks Inc. has expanded our selection of boulders for pool applications to the following four types: surface select, pit run, gold granite, and river red. Each type of rock has a distinct color and texture. In the past, the industry as a whole, only offered two types of boulders. We introduced two additional types of boulders in order to offer a more diverse color choice for our customers to incorporate in their pool and landscaping design.

Pit Run (Gray Granite) Pit Run is a grey granite rock that has bluish/gray coloring with salt and pepper speckles, angular shapes and soft edges. Pit run boulders are mined by blasting from a local quarry in Phoenix.	Surface Select Surface Select rock is naturally weathered granite that varies in color from light camel to dark brown; some have flecks of black, which is referred to as desert varnish. Each boulder is unique in color, texture and shape. Some have naturally occurring fissures that adds character to the boulder and the appearance of the water feature. Surface select boulders are harvested from various Arizona mountainsides and are trucked in on flatbed trailers.	Gold Granite The gold granite is a light golden colored boulder with angular shapes and soft edges. They are mined from a quarry outside of Phoenix and trucked in to the yard at Rockworks Stone Company.	River Red The river red is a granite rock that has red and gray colors throughout. It is a quarried rock with angular shapes and soft edges. It is mined locally and trucked into the yard at Rockworks Stone Company.
