"Cut River Rock" ? You asked, what is it? It is really quite simple, it is "Real Stone Veneer," we took the real river rock type stone, that is a smooth worn stone and cut off the workable face and discarded the bulk . This cuts down on the massive weight, and the excessive wide joints are no longer mandatory. Now, you have a real river rock stone veneer that can be quickly worked into your stone fireplace, stone home exterior, stone gates & pillars as well as interior stone applications. You have an option of bulbous look with deep set joints or flat mirror tile look and most of all, you have a unique real river rock stone project the way it is suppose to look.

Yes, you can have real stone!!

         You can be part of the "Best Kept Secret" and have Real Stone. While your neighbours have had to settle for the artifical look-a-like because they didn't know about Cut River Rock.

        The quality of your home, estate is a reflection of you. Cut River Rock's uniqueness will only add to this.   Your property, whether it is a gate post, stone fireplace, complete stone home, building complex or just covering over a concrete foundation with real stone veneer, will be increased in value with our real Cut River Rock. Up until now river rock in its natural state (full rock), has been frowned upon in the masonry stone trade, because of its difficulty in installation and because of its bulky bulbous nature making it time consuming and frustrating to install. The problem with river rock stone in this state has always been its mass and extrusions mostly always in the wrong way or place, which creates excessive wide joints.

        Well, we have solved that problem.    Now it is a pleasure to lay this stone because we cut off all the mass and left you with a perfect face to install . You simply install one with the other in the obvious space then grout in around it and let it set up a little and then put on the finishing touches as desired, now any handyman or woman can create a beautiful masterpiece.

Cut River Rock Stone Veneer. . .

        Next, we would like to make it clear that we are not acquiring the stone veneer from the beaches or river beds. The name river rock is the name used to identify the stone which have natural worn edges created by wear and grinding of millions of years.

Then Where Do We Get These River Rock Stones?

         The river rock that we use is of a glacier drift. Millions of years ago great ice fields of the ice age deposited huge bands of sand, gravel and stone. From these ancient dry river beds, which are used for highway construction, we meticulously sort through the huge piles of stone and select stone that has a face and even worn edges and also has unique patterns and color, only very few stones are worthy of the tedious time and care involved in hand cutting in our mill.

If the lowest price is all your after, this is not the masonry product for you. Another down side to this stone veneer is the local mason will not be of any help, because chances are he has not heard of it yet, and if he did dabble in stone, it was probably whole stone and he is not going to be anxious to do that again.

Making it clear to the stone mason, builder, building contractor, and architect, that this is real stone veneer is very important, it is not full stone.

Cut River Rock is laid with Type S masonry cement right over old brick, concrete walls, wood frame houses, Styrofoam form walls, interior and exterior.

The upside to Cut River Rock is the sheer beauty and value added to your property, created by the fine joints and the appearance of immaculate placement of the Cut River Rock. We cut all the bulk off and are left with the fine faces for easy quick & fast installation. Does it not make sense that just the face of a stone would be much simpler to install than the uncut river rock that is often bulbous, bulky and almost always the full stone is designed wrong for an easy fit .

One more downside, is the cost of shipping, yes if you live far away and order a small amount of our Cut River Rock the delivery cost would be high.

Cut River Rock's beauty and unique feature is now being seen on exquisite luxury homes. Very few home owners have ever had the luxury of Cut River Rock. Go to your local masonry brick supplier and see if you can find Cut River Rock, we are betting you can not, but you will see brick, artificial stone, pallets of quarried stone cheaper than dirt. So if you are looking for great price and the same look as your neighbours then that is probably where you should go.

8. (a) Price or cost of Cut River Rock is the best deal on the market today, although the thought of gathering stone that is readily available and handy has a great appeal. The sheer time it takes is costly enough then when you add the value of labour installation it is mind boggling how it cost so much more.

(b) Quarry stone is another similar example it cost about $350.00 per ton and will cover about 35 square feet. Therefore, it cost more than Cut River Rock and you still have to deal with the slow labour intensive cost of installation.

(c) What about actual man-made, artificial, faux stone, and a host of glorious names. The top end ones you have to admit look fairly good, what about the cost of these fairly good imitations? In most cases they cost more.

Now the question remains, why would you use artificial stone rather than Cut River Rock? The only thing the imitation material does brag about is it's light weight comparing to full uncut river rock and quarry stone (that is about 4 to 6 inches thick) they do have a valid point.

Cut River Rock will meet and surpass the architectural standards of less than 15 lbs per square foot. The weight of any material would be a problem if you were not building to code standards.

Can you put Cut River Rock on a common wall surface? The answer is yes, any building that has a standard foundation or standard normal under support will, can and does support Cut River Rock Veneer.
