Potential rock collection site.

[pillguy]

New to the area, but looking for a location where someone could collect river stones to scape a 125 tank. Looking at options other than Holey rock since I have done that for years.

ps- if you have say a pile of small to medium granite I might be interested in that too.

Ur best bet is probably going to be to go to some rock yards and look. Not sure i know of a place locally where u can just collect rock.

I've never seen rock around here naturally occurring, maybe up towards Austin or San Antonio

i just went to waynes landscape near clearlake and friendswood off 45. picked up some really nice dark granite pieces for .14lb. soaking them in bleach solution now to get rid of the crud, but when i get them in the tank next week ill shoot some pics.

yup, they are granite. they had a lot of nice big pieces. someone told me that they will also cut the rock for you so you have a flat side. not sure if thats true or not

If that is the case then it will be worth a drive from the Katy area to them to get some stone.

i live in katy as well. was about a 45 min drive for me. i would call first and wait till they get a new shipment. alot of their rock was gone when i got there

prices are the best i have seen though. natural earth products was decent but they jacked up their prices. all the lfs buy the rock from these guys at .14 and then sell it for 3 a lb

I'm sure there are some closer places to get rock in the Katy area. Seems like I pass by a place on HWY 6 north of IH10, and I think there another one on IH10 west of Katy.

I have been to all the ones in katy. They either have the flagstone, white brick type rock or moss rock. No one seems to carry a darker type of rock that looks decent
